do you know any novels with the theme of music?
I just read “Bel Canto” by Ann Pachette and i have to write a comparison essay between two novels and i need a 2nd novel that has music as its major theme. I was hoping to find abook that would show how music is universal and it helps people to communicate, feel things and how it makes social boundaries and racial boundaries dissapear
Any suggestions are welcome.
High Fidelity by Nick Hornby talks a lot about music.
