Your father dies and your brother inherits the business and your sisters get the house. All you father leaves you is his seven and half thousand vinyl albums. How would you feel?
For those that don’t know, the writer, Andy Bracken is the co-founder of Fruits de Mer Records, which according to Wikipedia are “British independent record label established in 2008. Based in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, England. The record label releases psychedelic rock, psychedelic folk, folk rock, space rock and krautrock music, with an international roster of artists spanning from the 1960s to the present. Fruits de Mer Records principally releases music on vinyl record format, but cassette tapes and compact discs.”
Now I’ve told you that, without giving away any of the story, many of us, as well as Andy would find a gift of seven and half thousand albums, a good thing. Does the protagonist, think so in this book? Well, you will have to read it to find out.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. I would recommend as a very good read.
I could have read it straight through however I had tasks and duties to attend to in my daily retired life so I enjoyed a morning hour of reading until completed.
There are life's lessons to be learned and many identifiable moments in this wonderful book by Andy Bracken.
