Customer Reviews

Right on the money!

Sheet Music brought back so many memories of my own mother, gone now for over 20 years! Rose's portrayal of the bond between mother and daughter is masterful!! I was 32 again and _was_ Justine -- smelling my mother's particular fragrances of powder and perfume, seeing her scarf of jewel tones, hearing phrases that I had pushed to the back of my mind. The recollections brought both laughter and tears.The prose is exceptional and underscored beautifully by the music that fills the book like surround sound fills a room. This combination created by the author for her Justine to finally greive and heal is insightful for the reader as well.Sheet Music is the first book I have read by M J Rose -- but it definitely will not be the last.

If you've lost your mother, this is a must read book!

I read SHEET MUSIC around the ninth anniversary of my mother's death. Through Justine, I relived so many of the emotions a daughter must overcome after losing a mother. MJ Rose paints evocative pictures of our souls with words. "No. Without my mother, I was not myself. And sometimes I think I am still not myself."Through SHEET MUSIC we follow Justine's journey to find her new self--her motherless daughter new self. As we travel with Justine we are reminded of the smells that we associate with our own mothers.

Sheet Music

I love her books they keep you guessing and you keep on reading to find out what happens. The characters you read about are everyday people and you feel like you know them. I read 3 of her books and i like her writing. It is a great book and you can't put the book down. I recommed eveyone to read her books. I can't wait for her next one. Thanks

A Good Read

M. J. Rose keeps the reader interested to the point that they can't put the book down. Each book that she has written I find she gives each character a unique personality. You want to know what will happen in the next chapter with the character. I feel that anyone who picks up one of her books will be happy that they did.

Haunting and evocative

I've loved all of M J Rose's books, and this one is truly her best. I sat up until all hours reading because I couldn't put it down--but I didn't want it to end, either. A smart and seductive mystery swirled around music, food, the passion of lovers, and the love between mother and daughter. Exactly what I want a book to be--literary and page-turning.
