I enjoyed a lot of this book, but at the end of the day I felt like I was forcing myself to finish it. I felt like the three stories were too disparate, and that the author was really stretching when she tied them all together in the final part of the book. By the time we get there, we had already spent two thirds of the book with totally new characters, so the first story falls to the back of your mind. Because each story ends on a cliffhanger, the resolutions felt a bit slap-shod. I understandEcho opens like a fairy tale: Otto is lost in the woods and meets three strange women who tell him of a prophecy concerning a rare harmonica. Enter Friedrich, Mike, and Ivy - three children facing daunting life challenges in the shadow of World War II. In each of their solo stories, Friedrich, Mike, and Ivy are in possession of the same rare harmonica, leaning on music to get them through the hard times.Myriad themes are explored in this book, but the thread that ties everything together is
For a few hours, Echo healed my cynical heart with pure hope. Beautifully written and compelling, what I will call an historical fairytale - with all the hardships that come with it - enchanted me from the very first page, and my interest never wavered : Friedrich, Mike, Frankie, Ivy... They all earned a little place in my heart. One might say that these stories are not free of some kind of simplistic resolution (and I agree), but in my opinion the novel's worth lies elsewhere : in the

#wow -- this one word could be my review for this enchanting novel, as I truly don't have any words to tell the world what an amazing experience this book has been. Just Incredible!I can feel a quaver inside me, when I think of that moment when I almost decided not to read this book. This book can best be described as "joyful" reading, right from the first word. ...and every night as they lay in their beds wondering what joy tomorrow might bring yet knowing how precarious life can be... They
I read this back in February, but forgot to review it, rectifying that now. Okay. This book is getting a lot of buzz and love, but again I feel out of step with everyone. I really liked aspects of it, but the entire conceit of the novel didn't work for me. There are three historical storylines bound together by a magical harmonica that is the key to releasing three princesses from a curse. The three historical plots are incredibly well done on their own until they all reach their cliffhanger
Read twice. Still pondering it. The writing is lovely and the characters are memorable.
