chappell creates a sort of magical realism set to fiddles - now funny, now sad and full of turns and surprises without.

This was a fantastic read. It is set in North Carolina the 1940's from the eyes of an 11 year old boy. Each chapter introduces you to a new visitor/family member and their quirks. There's a great blending of reality and fantasy. I found myself laughing out loud at some sections and getting teary at others.
