Beautiful little story about faith. Prose in a "Strunk and White" style--a very American voice with no extra words yet with simple, evocative beauty. Very touching moments and lovely, peaceful scenes--I especially loved the scenes of him teaching the German nuns English (so they learn to speak it without reproducing the phonograph noises of their recorded lessons) and spending evenings sharing music with them. Not quite sure what I think about the ending; I finished it with a slightly baffled sense of "That's it?", and I think I'd need a reread or two to fully synthesize the exact point of the story. But that'll be simple enough to do--it's a very short book--and something that I'd definitely look forward to doing.
