Customer Reviews

Talks to me.

This book feels like life. I know the characters,I know the land, I know the era.

Music and Words

I picked up Tim Wynveen's book by chance, not knowing where it would take me. What I discovered was a gem of Canadian fiction, not unlike Margaret Lawrence. Wynveen demands an emotional connection from the reader, which I couldn't help but offer. His knowledge of music is impeccable, and his skill for combining words and music within the context of a novel is original and impressive. He weaves the two mediums together without dropping a stitch. It made me look at the world, and my connection to my siblings in a new and positive way. It is a sweet life...

A Breath of Life

I'm not a big reader. I rarely read a novel in its entirety, yet the moment I read the first page of Sweeter Life, I was hooked. This book is a beautiful story about music, and about siblings. If you have a sibling, or even if you don't, this book is very enjoyable. Also, if you have an interest in music, you will be happy to know that Tim Wynveen, a former professional musician, is very knowlegable. Sweeter Life is a fantastic novel. It is one of those novels that make you see the world in a different way... ABSOLUTELY SWEET...
