Wondrous when an author can achieve this connection to not only a physical place, but make the place the people connected to music, speechless. Any "Author Information" displayed below reflects the author's biography at the time this particular book was published.

Piglet is the searing, unforgettable and original debut which is set to take readers by storm in 2024. Prawie 470 stron opisów wystąpień fikcyjnych pianistów na fikcyjnym konkursie, zawiązujących się między nimi relacji i refleksji dotyczących roli muzyki w ich życiu i w świecie w ogóle - aż trudno uwierzyć, że ta opowieść może być tak bardzo dla czytelnika absorbująca. Over the course of two feverish weeks, three students will experience some of the most joyous – and painful – moments of their lives. There's also a sort of love interest subplot that is just forgotten for most of the book and feels incredibly half-baked.We meet a lot of people, but never for a second did I lose count of who’s who and I was invested in all of them from the start. It’s obvious he’s a genius, despite having rarely touched a piano outside of his time with the Maestro, but he ends up passing and going to Tokyo.

Ultimately, Honeybees and Distant Thunder is a story that could be described as a love letter to music and nature.
