The Well of Saint Nobody by Neil Jordan
4.25

An unusual read that was not what I was expecting at all!! 
Tara, an Irish piano teacher, accepts a position for the housekeeper to William, an aging pianist whose illness prevents him from playing as he used to. But they’ve met before, and William doesn’t remember.
I don’t want to say anything that spoils it, but this is beautifully written Irish fiction. A touch of folklore (ish…..you’ll see what I mean!) and a sublime use of language.
