The Magic Strings Of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom (English & HC)

Mitch Albom #39;s ost critically acclaimed novel yet is a stunningly original tale of love. Love between a man and a woman, between an artist and his mentor, and between a musician and his God-given talent. Narrated by the voice of Music itself the story follows Frankie Presto, an orphan born in a burning church, through his extraordinary journey around the world. Raised by a blind guitar teacher in Spain and gifted with a talent to change people #39;s lives - using six myterious blue strings - Frankie navigates the musical landscape of the twentieth century, from the 1950s jazz scene to the Grand Ole Opry to Elvis mania and Woodstock, all the while searching for his childhood love. As he becomes a famous star, he loses his way, until tragedy steals his ability to play guitar that had so defined him. Overhelmed by his loss, Frankie disappears for decades reemerging late in life for one spectacular yet mystifying farewell. Part love story, part magical mystery, The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto is Mitch Albom at his finest, a Forrest Gump - like epic about one man #39;s journey to discover what truly matters and the power of talent to change our lives.
