The Piano Man's Daughter ReviewIn this beautifully written and captivating novel, Canadian author, Timothy Findley, affirms that life is a magnificent and mysterious blending of our past, present and future. In fact, as Charlie, the narrator of the novel, discovers, the past teaches us how to live in the present and plan for the future. His mother, Lily, whose entrance into the world and whose place in the world are both unconventional, shares her wisdom with her son as they seek to discover the identity of Charlie's father. Although deemed mad by most of her socially conscious family and acquaintances, and often mistreated because of that, Charlie knows that despite her weaknesses, the wisdom Lily shares with him defies madness. The daughter of a piano man, Lily has a profound understanding of the meaning of music. She teaches her son that all living creatures share a song and that song must be passed on to others. "That song--those songs are just the same as what I was telling you about the ants. This is me, they say. This is you. This is us. All songs pass from one to another--the songs of ten thousand years of nesting together--of being one--of being us...We and the small stream burgeoning out of the storm and the stars above the field and the sky with its endless curving. Us. Us. Us, they said. We're singing. Us. This was my mother's teaching. I received it then--but I had no notion until her death of its potency. Pass it on, she had said. Pass it on." Only after his mother frees herself from the confines of a lunatic asylum and finally finds her ultimate safe place, does Charlie understand the importance of the song and the duty and privilege that is his to pass it on, despite the uncertainties and fears that often accompany the song. In The Piano Man's Daughter, Findley encourages all of us to listen carefully for the song of life, to appreciate all of the singers, and to lift our own voices as we pass on the hauntingly beautiful melodyThe Piano Man's Daughter Overview
