I’m sure there were more gaps in my knowledge of Russian history than in yours, though 🙂 I want to read more piano themed books too, I’m sure I will get around to it. That’s funny about the three legs – I just looked the book up, it does sound intriguing! An unusual angle. The Lost Pianos is definitely one for your list. It was one of my favourite reads the other year 🙂

Sophy Roberts most likely knows more about Russian history than I do. I’m ashamed to admit that my Russian history ended somewhere with Ivan the Terrible from Middle Ages in my fifth grade before I moved to the UK as we studied only international history after that. I really need to read this book. I am now going through a really serious piano-book phase where I read different biographies of composers and pianists and have only today discovered that what I thought was a biography of Glenn Gould – A Romance on Three Legs – is actually a book about his beloved piano!

Maybe he dropped his keys in there by accident 😀

I love it when that happens – learning a lot from books! The man, to me, looked like he was trying to look for some hidden treasure 😀 lol

It is a very interesting book – quite devastating in parts but definitely worth a read if you’re into Russian history and also like pianos! 🙂

Thanks, Jee! I like the piano on the cover, I don’t know what the man is doing though! The history is tough to read about but I learned a lot.
