About this listen

A captivating, feel-good love story from the author of the acclaimed Australian bestseller Star-crossed, which has now been published in 30 countries around the world.

For every love lost there is another to be found . . .

In Australia, Arie Johnson waits impatiently for classical pianist Diana Clare to return from a world tour, hopeful that after seven years together she'll finally agree to marry him.

On her travels, Diana composes a song for Arie. It's the perfect way to express her love, knowing they'll spend their lives together . . . Won't they?

Then late one night, her love song is overheard, and begins its own journey across the world.

In Scotland, Evie Greenlees is drifting. It's been years since she left Australia with a backpack, a one-way ticket and a dream of becoming a poet. Now she spends her days making coffee and her nights serving beer. And she's not even sure whether the guy she lives with is really her boyfriend or just a flatmate.

Then one day she hears an exquisite love song. One that will connect her to a man with a broken heart . . .

This story takes you on a journey with the love song. Reminded me of the 6 step of separation that we all have with each other. A Very enjoyable listening.

A delightful story

This was my Mother’s Day read and I loved the day.
The Lost Love Song has to be one of the best books I’ve read- and I read all the time
Books set in Australia also appeal
I must admit I’m partial to the Aussie accent and Marcello Fabrizi has a a beautiful baritone voice.
( He sounds Aussie, even if his name is dubious)

The song affected so many people’s lives and spread like a Chinese Whisper around the world.
It was played by all different musical instruments and formats, yet remained true to its origin so that anyone that heard the song remembered the tune.

Absolute Delight

Minnie Darke has gifted us something a little different to the usual trope. This pleasant listen/read (er, excepting the tragic opening set) breaks the usual formulaic structures in several ways yets delivers us the relief of tying up "happy endings" (for now) going forward. It's well worth the money spent. Arienwen Parkes-Lockwood and Mario Fabrizi give a good solid performance with nuanced characterisations and silk smooth transitions and while there is the tiniest, tiniest room for improvement (compared to the likes of Tom Hanks or Juliet Stephenson) they still deserve 5 stars and are worth searching for for future purchases. Overall The Lost Love Song is a surprise and a general fiction read that I would actually bother to listen to again. Loved it.

Quite the delight

Minnie Darke knows how to write a love story. The thread that weaves its way through this novel, right to the end, is enchanting. Woven through a story of devotion to family and talent and precious individuals and the the frailty of humans. A truly lovely and tragic love story.

Love, dedication, music, magic
