The Musician is a charmingly unique story that feels, at times, as if Prieto had asked the question 'what would happen if I wrote a classic Latin American magical realism story but gave it a quirky ensemble cast a lá Wes Anderson?' The result is a heartwarming portrait of modern-day Brazil as seen from the eyes of diverse characters both young and old, city-folk and indigenous forest-folk alike. The thread that connects them all and winds itself arounds readers' hearts is the magical music at the core of the tale.
