Before his tragic death, Clara Lundy's father brought home an unexpected present for his twelve-year-old daughter: an upright Blüthner piano. Now a twenty-six-year-old mechanic, Clara, who never learned to play the rare instrument, decides to sell the burdensome thing, and immediately finds a mysteriously enthusiastic buyer. Discovering the buyer's identity—and learning the secret history of the Blüthner—will upend Clara's personal life, call into question her memories, and ultimately set her free of her past. With an addictively intriguing plot and a lyrical, intertwining-narrative format, The Weight of a Piano is a satisfying and melodious novel.
