About this product
Product Information
Henry Cage seems to have it all: a successful career, money, a beautiful home, and a reputation for being a just and principled man. But public virtues can conceal private failings, and as Henry faces retirement, his well-ordered life begins to unravel. His ex-wife is ill, his relationship with his son is strained to the point of estrangement, and on the eve of the new millennium he is the victim of a random violent act which soon escalates into a prolonged and mysterious harassment. Who is doing this? And why? Full of exceptional grace and emotional power, The Upright Piano Player is a wise and acutely observed novel about the myriad ways in which life tests us--no matter how carefully we have constructed our own little fortresses.

Reviews
"[A] gripping novel, a reminder of how little control we have over our lives." - Los Angeles Times "Wise and moving. . . . An accomplished novel of quiet depths and resonant shadows." -John Burnham Schwartz, author of The Commoner "Stirring. . . . Abbott has created a memorable book, and readers will ache along with the principal characters." - San Francisco Chronicle "Gracefully constructed and wholly consuming." -Associated Press "Elegant, rich, and gratifying." - The Independent (London) "The menace simmering beneath the surface of [ The Upright Piano Player's ] prose is compelling." - Daily Mail "A powerful and well-written portrayal of loss and grieving." - Library Journal (starred review) "A concise, haunting work, a short, brilliantly observed novel. . . . Fluid and elegiac, filled with somber, serious tones, the author's writing is reminiscent of the great Ian McEwan." -Curled Up With a Good Book "Masterful." - The Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA) "A beautifully constructed debut." - The Guardian (London), "How quickly a carefully constructed life can unravel! ... Abbott has peered over the edge to write this gripping novel, a reminder of how little control we have over our lives." - Los Angeles Times "Stirring ... Abbott has created a memorable book, and readers will ache along with the principal characters." - San Francisco Chronicle "Gracefully constructed and wholly consuming." - Associated Press "[A]n elegant debut filled with anguish and yearning ... Abbott takes these broken relationships and slowly works over their frayed ends with a delicate touch, sometimes mending them and other times hitting exposed nerves ... It's a very careful novel in its structure and revelations, but Abbott impresses most in his easy balance of the disparate plot elements ... and overarching themes of reconnection and regret." - Publishers Weekly "A powerful and well-written portrayal of loss and grieving. Highly recommended." - Library Journal (starred review) “ David Abbott's The Upright Piano Player is a wise and moving debut, an accomplished novel of quiet depths and resonant shadows.� -John Burnham Schwartz, author of The Commoner and Reservation Road “A beautifully constructed debut.� - The Guardian “Elegant, rich and gratifying.� - The Independent “The menace simmering beneath the surface of its prose is compelling.� - Daily Mail
