Time's Musicians by Mark Paul OleksiwMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Time's Musicians by Mark Paul Oleksiw is a fascinating story. This is a coming of age story as we follow Billy, first in the 5th grade when he meets an interesting boy who believes in black holes, then in later years at camp, and finally as an adult. There are flawless and compelling descriptions in this tale whether it is in describing a setting or delving into Billy's mind. The language of the book is thoughtful and provocative capturing your attention as the reader. The world the characters inhabit is magical if a bit unsettling, especially Billy's world. With the slow unraveling of the plot, you are kept engaged by subtle twists and turns, never quite knowing what to believe. Very much a character-driven story, this is a book you won't soon forget, and one you may want to read again for further clarity and further nuance. Highly recommend.
