Soul Music

Author: Terry Pratchett

In this rollicking adventure through Discworld, Death takes an unexpected holiday, leaving his granddaughter Susan to fill his bony shoes. Meanwhile, a mysterious force called “Music With Rocks In” sweeps through Ankh-Morpork, captivating the youth and baffling the elders. As Susan grapples with her newfound duties, she crosses paths with Imp y Celyn, a young musician with dreams of stardom. Pratchett’s wit shines as he weaves together themes of destiny, rebellion, and the power of music, all while keeping readers chuckling at his trademark humor and clever wordplay.

There are millions of chords. There are millions of ways of playing them. There are millions of ways of putting them together. There are millions of ways of singing the result. But there is only one way of making a song that the universe can't help but listen to.
