false <![CDATA[The Piano Tuner: A Novel]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170448018m/55096.jpg 55096 20 In 1886 a shy, middle-aged piano tuner named Edgar Drake receives an unusual commission from the British War Office: to travel to the remote jungles of northeast Burma and there repair a rare piano belonging to an eccentric army surgeon who has proven mysteriously indispensable to the imperial design. From this irresistible beginning, The Piano Tuner launches its protagonist into a world of seductive loveliness and nightmarish intrigue. And as he follows Drake’s journey, Mason dazzles readers with his erudition, moves them with his vibrantly rendered characters, and enmeshes them in the unbreakable spell of his storytelling. 2557116 2002 The Piano Tuner: A Novel total:2094|5:290|4:777|3:723|2:233|1:71| 2094 7264 2815 383 5 6 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Mon Aug 06 16:14:43 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 06 17:09:15 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 2 false false Mon Jul 14 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 08 11:30:27 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 14 23:05:34 -0700 2008
