[A Book Vacation · Rating 5 out of 5]

I just read T.L. Peter’s short story, “A Sweeter Rhythm,” and I must say, it is fantastic! This short story follows the life of a violin as it recounts its many ups and downs over the centuries, changing hands between those that love it, and those that don’t. When I was in high school, I used to write all my short stories for English from the viewpoint of inanimate objects—I think personification is my favorite literary device, and T.L. Peters captures this element beautifully through the voice of the violin. It’s a heartbreaking tale of sorrow, yet redemption does come, and it’s a haunting tale with a magnificent theme—you need to read it to understand.
