Sweeter Music
by Charlotte Vale Allen
LTF Stock #: 000426
Charlotte Vale Allen’s Sweeter Music is an emotionally nuanced novel about second chances and the transformative power of love. Widowed and isolated, a once-promising musician rediscovers her voice—both literal and figurative—when a younger composer enters her life, challenging her fears and long-buried ambitions. Set against the backdrop of a Canadian coastal town, the story explores aging, creativity, vulnerability, and the courage to embrace joy after loss. Allen’s prose, known for its compassion and psychological realism, elevates the narrative beyond a love story, examining self-worth and human resilience. Tender, thoughtful, and reflective, Sweeter Music reaffirms Allen’s reputation for crafting intimate tales of ordinary people learning to live fully again. (PaperJacks, 1980; 272 pp.)
