This is the story of an everyday common Englishman, a simple piano tuner, who gets to do something unusual. He travels into the jungles of Burma to tune a piano because he is an expert in tuning this particular type. He leaves his beloved wife whom he loves so very much. The romantic descriptions of their love is so beautiful and wrapped within the music they both love. Yet as he travels away from her and he takes pen in hand to write about the beauty of the strange new country he is visiting - the flora, the fauna, the people. As the tale unfolds, he becomes unknowingly caught up in local politics and drama that changes life for himself and his wife forever. It's a well written and thoughtful book. I quite liked it.
