Reviews
"[A]n elegant debut filled with anguish and yearning ... Abbott takes these broken relationships and slowly works over their frayed ends with a delicate touch, sometimes mending them and other times hitting exposed nerves ... It's a very careful novel in its structure and revelations, but Abbott impresses most in his easy balance of the disparate plot elements ... and overarching themes of reconnection and regret." - Publishers Weekly " David Abbott's The Upright Piano Player is a wise and moving debut, an accomplished novel of quiet depths and resonant shadows." -John Burnham Schwartz, author of The Commoner and Reservation Road "A beautifully constructed debut." - The Guardian "Elegant, rich and gratifying." - The Independent "The menace simmering beneath the surface of its prose is compelling." - Daily Mail, "Stirring ... Abbott has created a memorable book, and readers will ache along with the principal characters." - San Francisco Chronicle "Gracefully constructed and wholly consuming." - Associated Press "[A]n elegant debut filled with anguish and yearning ...

"As he faces retirement, Henry Cage finds his life spiraling out of control. He must deal with an ailing ex-wife, an estranged son, and a malicious stalker who is prone to violence. This first novel is both a page-turner and a disconcerting portrayal of the randomness of life and the choices we make. Strangely uplifting, The Upright Piano Player is guaranteed to keep you riveted." -Jack Gillard, Nicola's Books, Ann Arbor, MI "[A]n elegant debut filled with anguish and yearning ...
