I couldn't get behind the cheating aspect that this book is based on.

I gobbled up this novel in less than a day, that's how I much I enjoyed it.

It's about Zoe Wylde, thirty-three, who works as a harpist thanatologist in a palliative care unit - basically, she plays music to soothe the dying.

Zoe's personal life is in a bit of disarray, as she's been involved with a married man for over five years. But she loves him so much, it's just that his wife is not well and they have a child ...

Zoe's only two friends are Lexie, her best friend from school who's a lesbian and her also unmarried, older brother, Tom, who lives with Zoe in their childhood home in a very nice part of Sydney, renting it from their remarried father.

The death of a favourite patient in the palliative care unit and the imminent one of another favourite, spur Zoe on to do some travelling, so she goes to the USA, London, with a stopover in Bali on the way back to Australia.
That trip makes Zoe realise certain things. What they are, you'll have to read and find out for yourselves.

The Song of Us was utterly delightful, well-written, with interesting characters, both sad, at times, and uplifting.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
