This story is told from the point of view of Rose, the magic guitar. She is crafted by the famous guitar maker, Victor Marcini, for his newborn son, Joe. Rose and Joe go through the terrible twos together, with Joe throwing fits, and Rose popping strings. As they grow older, Joe becomes an accomplished player, and the two become inseparably bonded. Rose is stolen and lives through many frightening adventures before she is joyfully reunited with Joe. As Rose tells her story, she uses musical terms playfully. ("He looked like a real treble-maker.") Although many musical references are made, readers do not need to understand music to enjoy the book.

Using small-town life as a springboard to explore the loftiest of ideas, Haven Kimmel’s irresistibly smart and generous first novel is at once a romance and a haunting meditation on grief and faith. Langston Braverman returns to Haddington, Indiana (pop. 3,062) after walking out on an academic career that has equipped her for little but lording it over other people. Amos Townsend is trying to minister to a congregation that would prefer simple affirmations to his esoteric brand of theology. What draws these difficult—if not impossible—people together are two wounded little girls who call themselves Immaculata and Epiphany. They are the daughters of Langston’s childhood friend and the witnesses to her murder. And their need for love is so urgent that neither Langston nor Amos can resist it, though they do their best to resist each other. Deftly walking the tightrope between tragedy and comedy, The Solace of Leaving Early is a joyous story about finding one’s better self through accepting the shortcomings of others.
