(  )BKSALLOVER | Sep 29, 2008 |   This was a very entertaining novel, with characters that I (mostly) liked and sympathized with. Relationships were explored without the writing becoming "syrupy", for lack of a better word. If you are a fan of politics in academia or in small towns, you should check this book out. The Choir is the first of Joanna Trollope's books that I have read, and it has inspired me to read more of her works. ( )LydiaGrytpypeThynne | Apr 1, 2008 | This was the first aga saga I read. Very good story, based on Gloucester cathedral choir school. Personal interest, as Gloucester is where my inlaws live. (  )mlfhlibrarian | Oct 31, 2006 | I bought this after seeing the TV series and enjoying the music. It's a nice enough story set in an Anglican cathedral in the UK.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0552994944, Paperback)In the rustic town of Aldminster, a crisis looms. Funds are short and the cathedral is in need of major repair. Some hope to finance the work by abolishing the costly boy's choir-while others are aghast at the idea. Drawn into the fray is Sally Ashworth, the lonely mother of a ten-year-old chorister. She is anchored only by her unexpected love for the brilliant choirmaster-and by her young son, whose melodic voice may be the only thing that can unite a divided community."Compelling." (Boston Globe) "Sacred music...and delicious deadpan understatement create a uniquely rich soundtrack on the pages of this beautifully crafted tale." (Publishers Weekly, starred review) (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:53 -0400) The first test round has been closed. Visit the Open Shelves Classification group for details. |
