Solid Romance That Does What It Must. With this particular book seemingly bringing the story of the Castleton String Quartet to a close, there were certain events that those following this series knew had to come to pass - and when they did, it was utterly heartbreaking. And yet Evans manages to wrap a solid romance around this and even give a Mr. Holland's Opus finale level sendoff to the series to boot. And since that is one of my favorite musical moments in film *ever*... that is high praise and is a style that is always appreciated by this reader. :) Very much recommended.
