September book - The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom

Please join us for a discussion of this month's book. We meet in the glass room on the right side of the dining area once you enter the restaurant. The restaurant asks that members make some kind of purchase for the use of the room - even just a beverage. Most people grab a bite to eat while we chat about the book.

As a reminder, PLEASE try to keep your RSVP updated as best as possible.

From Amazon:
Narrated by the voice of Music itself, the story follows Frankie Presto, a war orphan born in a burning church, through his extraordinary journey around the world. Raised by a blind guitar teacher in Spain and gifted with a talent to change people’s lives—using six mysterious blue strings—Frankie navigates the musical landscape of the twentieth century, from the 1950s jazz scene to the Grand Ole Opry to Elvis mania and Woodstock, all the while searching for his childhood love.

As he becomes a famous star, he loses his way, until tragedy steals his ability to play the guitar that had so defined him. Overwhelmed by his loss, Frankie disappears for decades, reemerging late in life for one spectacular yet mystifying farewell.

Part love story, part magical mystery, The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto is Mitch Albom at his finest, a Forrest Gump-like epic about one man’s journey to discover what truly matters and the power of talent to change our lives.
