Life flows peacefully on the wave of music and everyday life together with the other inhabitants of this alley. But although Frank has the gift of empathy and a sense of what others need, he himself remains a bachelor.
One day a girl faints outside the shop. Frank and his friends take her in, but as soon as she gets better, she disappears. Everybody's asking:

"What about her German accent? "
But Frank can't hear. he fell in love. The girl returns and slowly a connection is made between them. Love? Does it have a chance of success?

They wrote about the book The Music Shop

„A mysterious looking work that has a sincere message on its cover: An unforgettable story of love, hope and music. I definitely agree with that and although it doesn't seem like it at first, the book is strongly emotional. „

The World Between the Lines

"Rachel Joyce is great at portraying humanity, and The Music Merchant is no exception. It's a joyful love song, full of hope, kindness and laughter."

Sarah Winman, writer

? "A story that tells much more about the silence between words than the words themselves - the gaps between people can be filled with mystery, confusion and misunderstanding, but also with hope."
