Book Reviews of Piano Girl: A Memoir
Book Review: A Well-Written Memoir to Tickle Your Funny Bone and Tug at Your Heartstrings
Summary: 5 Stars
First, a confession: the author of this delightful book was a classmate of mine at Chatham College in the '70s. That being said, the true and charming tales about her career as a lounge pianist were even more witty than I could have ever imagined, though told by the very talented and funny "piano girl" that I fondly remember. Robin's ability to vividly describe with words the wacky world in which her chosen career propelled her, is comparable to that of a fine artist's creative use of color, line, and perspective in a painting. Although my own journey, while interesting, hasn't had nearly as many twists and turns as Robin's, what a pleasure to go back in time with her on such a thrilling ride, all from the comfort and safety of my own reading chair! In addition to causing me to laugh so hard that my sides hurt, "Piano Girl" also contained many moments that made my heart ache for the passionate and daring days of my youth. I suspect that many readers will feel the same way. I highly recommend this well-written memoir, (although I hope your spouse doesn't throw you out of bed for laughing too loud while you're reading it). That, too, is a true story!
