Teddy Tremble was the singer of a band that had a one-hit wonder in the 1990s. Almost forty, he's settling into life as a lawyer when he gets a call from old friend, which brings him to a small town in Switzerland. And guess what? His band is HUGE among a quirky group of young people in this town, which rekindles his love for creating music.
I love the way Abramowitz writes about making music--it's so wonderfully evocative. His voice is also tremendously funny and has a great turn of phrase. It's one of those novels that you want to read aloud to anyone who will listen. Unexpected and lovely fun.
