A captivating novel that evokes the author's New York Times bestseller The House at Tyneford

It's a terrible thing to covet your brother's girl.

New Year's Eve, 1946. Candles flicker, and a gramophone scratches out a tune as guests dance and sip champagne. For one night only, Hartgrove Hall relives better days. Harry Fox-Talbot and his brothers have returned from the war determined to save their once grand home from ruin. But the arrival of beautiful wartime singer Edie Rose tangles the threads of love and duty and leads to a devastating betrayal.

Fifty years later, now a celebrated composer, Fox reels from the death of his adored wife, Edie. But his connection with his four-year-old grandson—a piano prodigy—propels him back into life, and he must ultimately confront his past.

The Song of Hartgrove Hall is an enthralling novel about love and treachery, joy after grief, and a man forced to ask: Is it ever too late to seek forgiveness?

      Narrator James Langton tells this lyrical story with gentility and grace. The family saga features British composer and conductor Harry Fox-Talbot and his passions--for his crumbling country house, for his brother's wife, and, strongest of all, for music. The audiobook goes back and forth in time, showing us both the youthful compiler of folk tunes and the elderly renowned musician--a widower and proud grandfather of a musical prodigy. Langton's leisurely pacing suits the languid atmosphere, and he adequately vocalizes both genders and the varied ages of characters in the story. A bonus for this audiobook format would be for the listener to hear some of the music important to the story. D.L.G. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
