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.

A New York Times Notable BookA San Francisco Chronicle, San Jose Mercury News, and Los Angeles Times Best Book of the YearA gripping and resonant novel. . . . It immerses the reader in a distant world with startling immediacy and ardor. . . . Riveting. Michiko Kakutani, The New York TimesIn 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 readers into a world of seductive, vibrantly rendered characters, and enmeshes them in an unbreakable spell of storytelling. 'The Piano Tuner' participates in a tradition of literary works that try to fathom colonized cultures vastly different from the author's own. What features does Daniel Mason's novel share with such predecessors as E. M. Forster's 'A Passage to India' , Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness" and more.
