Vivien's Reviews > Robert Falconer

I'm still reading it, but so far it's already been on of those books that has me weeping and thanking a god I don't believe in for it's very existence. I can't describe how beautiful this book is, just a simple story about a sensitive boy in semi-rural Scotland who learns to play the violin and goes to college in Aberdeen. It's a story of hope and faith and compassion, and while the many sequences of Scottish dialect take some getting used to, it's worth it for a deeper insight into the man who influenced both J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.
