La's Orchestra Saves the World by Alexander Mccall Smith
It's 1939 and the war in Europe casts a long, all-encompassing shadow. In a sleepy town in Suffolk, the generous and determined widow, La, forms an amateur orchestra to entertain the locals and soothe her own broken heart. She recruits Felix, a refugee from Poland, to play the flute, and a touching friendship emerges.'If McCall Smith didn't exist, we should have had to invent himHe is that rare creature known as a storyteller'
