...shocking, but ultimately hopeful, tale.
*EVENT (Mail on Sunday)*
What an incredible book, truly magnificent - and it's fantastic to
see YA discussing issues it seems to have shied away from in recent
years.
*No Safer Place*
Viscerally violent from the opening sentence, authentically raw,
and painful to read at times, this is a superbly told, emotionally
charged story of obsession, abuse and the wonderful, terrible power
of music both to destroy and, ultimately, to redeem.
*Teach Secondary (online)*
Moving and hopeful and completely brilliant - this is a fantastic
debut and I can't wait to see more from C. G. Drews.
*Rachel Meier - Canterbury Waterstones*
Music and its transformative power. First love and its intense
sweetness. Domestic violence and its pernicious enforcing of
secrets. How does one create a magical and powerful story from such
disparate ingredients? Well, read on. A Thousand Perfect Notes is a
read of great intensity on multiple levels.
*The Book Bag*
...it's heartbreaking and everything I never knew I needed.
*Ilsa - Whisper of Ink*
A Thousand Perfect Notes can only be described as utterly
disheartening and powerful. [...] I can't wait to read more of what
C.G. Drews has up her sleeve.
*Autumn Frost*
This is a gripping story [...] Please go out and buy this if you
can. It is so heartbreakingly wonderful.
*A Little But a Lot*
...it is hard-hitting at times,but it is also full of hope,
possibility and determination and it will have you flinching,
crying, holding your breath and rushing to turn the page.
*Rachael at Waterstones Altrincham*
I would recommend this book to pretty much anyone who wants a
hard-hitting contemporary read...
*Book Browsing Blog*
...this was just flawless. It really outlined so many issues;
physical and mental abuse, but the themes of hope balanced it
perfectly.
*Sammy's Shelf (blog)*
A quick YA with plenty of punch.
*Read by Jess (blog)*
...a read that will make you think and leave you wanting more.
*Fabulous Book Fiend*
A Thousand Perfect Notes takes a searingly powerful look at the
theme of parental obsession... The book's final notes will linger
in the air long after the last page has been turned.
