A lovable community of shopkeepers in London become transfixed by a foreign visitor, who inadvertently changes all of their lives. Filled with music trivia and passionate characters, this book was an enjoyable read. While I wanted to love this book, it just didn't stick to my ribs the way I expected it to. I felt detached the entire time I was reading, and never felt truly invested in the story. Parts of the plot moved too slowly, and some of the plot jumps made the story feel like a skipping record. Frank was the archetype of the quirky single shop owner stuck in his ways, despite the world changing around him. However, the characters were lovable, flaws and all. In fact, they were the best part of the book. With more character development, I may have been more invested in the book
