The new book from Mich Albom, #1 New York Times bestselling author.
When the Spirit of Music comes to claim one of his most precious prodigies, we are witness to the epic life story of Frankie Presto-the greatest guitar player who ever lived-and the six lives he changes with his six magical blue strings.
When the spirit of Music comes to a funeral to reclaim its most precious prodigy, it reveals the epic story of Frankie Presto-the greatest guitar player who ever lived-and the six lives he changed with his six magical blue strings
With Music telling the fantastical tale, we learn of young Frankie, born in a burning church, abandoned as an infant, and raised by a music teacher in a small Spanish town, until war rips his life apart. At nine years old, he is sent to America in the bottom of a boat. His only possession is an old guitar and six precious strings. His amazing journey weaves him through the musical landscape of the 1940s, 50s and 60s, with his stunning playing and singing talent affecting numerous stars (Duke Ellington, Hank Williams, Elvis Presley) until, as if predestined, he becomes a pop star himself.
He makes records. He is adored. But Frankie Presto's gift will also be his burden, as he realizes the power of the strings his teacher gave him, and how, through his music, he can actually affect people's lives. At the height of his popularity, tortured by his biggest mistake, he vanishes. His legend grows. Only decades later, having finally healed his heart, does Frankie reappear -just before his spectacular death -to change one last life.
A lifelong musician, Mitch Albom's passion shines through on every page. Written with an ear for rhythm and cadence, The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto is a classic in the making. Heartrending and inventive, Albom's latest is infused with the message that everyone joins a band in this life and that music, like love, has the power to affect us all.
