Duet, a score for my life

This book found me when I was getting ready to board a plane in the late 80s. The cover lead me to believe the book would not force me to think, so I grabbed it and ran to my gate. I have not stopped thinking about it since. Written in first person, the book details the life of Anna, an only child whose mother dies when she is a teenager (don't worry, her larger-than-life relative, Mamie, comes to live with her and teaches her the love of music) This could easily be a depressing theme, unrequited love, but Kitty Burns Florey bescribes the 60's on the east coast, and Anna's and Will's unique, funny and sad life experiences and with such honesty and detail and, well, beauty, that I felt as though I had lived the story, not read it. This book screams to be made into a movie. I have passed this beautiful story on to many many friends and they've all said the same thing, this story lives and breathes, it's an utterly romantic story, timeless. Find it, Read it, LOVE it! Merry we part...
