Ensemble A Novel

This novel encompasses about 15 years in the lives of a musical ensemble comprised of two young men and women. The author delves into the minds of all of them and it is wonderful to see their evolution over that period of time, personally and professionally. We are also allowed into their personal stories . . . where they came from and who they came from and the lessons learned. I became engaged with all the characters and just loved the story and the prose.

4.5 stars, rounding to 5. I absolutely savored every minute I spent with this book. It probably helps that I have a new interest in classical music so I learned a lot in that regard. This is a touching story of four friends figuring out who they really are while in a string quartet together.
