Bridget and Will have the kind of relationship that people envy: they&;re loving, compatible, and completely devoted to each other. The fact that they&;re strictly friends seems to get lost on nearly everyone; after all, they&;re as good as married in (almost) every way. For three decades, they&;ve nurtured their baby, the Forsyth Trio & a chamber group they created as students with their Juilliard classmate Gavin Glantz.
This is a new author for me, but this won't be the last book by her that I read. Musical Chairs is a delightful menage of characters thrown together for one summer in northwestern Connecticut. Will and Bridget are best friends and two-thirds of the Forsyte Trio, a classical music group. They're currently looking for a third, a violinist, but Bridget is at her weekend home for the summer hoping for a romantic getaway with her current boyfriend. However, Sterling breaks up with her, and her two grown children invade the premises along with Will, who discovers a new love in the nearby town. Meanwhile, Bridget's famous composer father, who lives nearby, decides to marry and throws everyone involved into a tizzy.This is an erudite story about rich people, but I don't mean that in a bad way. Indeed, Ms. Poeppel writes very accessibly and tells a very enjoyable story. There are a lot of characters, but I never felt overwhelmed, and I was entertained by their different quirks and adventures. It's a somewhat complex story that's all woven together no matter the aspect: Bridget's renovations, everyone's romantic relationships, jobs, travels, and music.This is one of those books that I'd recommend to book clubs and readers of just a good story. And I'll be looking for more of Ms. Poeppel's books.
