I'm afraid I'm rather a tough critic - only the more so as time goes by. So I will say that while I gave this book four stars, it certainly had its five star moments. Even up to the last line.

Looking over my book list, you'll see that I tend towards a regular return of reading books on Simplicity. Morning Sun on a White Piano is unique. It not only encourages simplicity in areas that truly matter, moving beyond the physicality of simplifying our lives - it's been written with a gentleness that envelopes its readers, like an arm of love coming round our shoulders.
