A grand piano made by Sebastien Erard in 1844.The Piano Tuner.

I have an old upright Robinson piano, which is grossly neglected by the previous owner. His steps became a little flighty, his laugh a little louder, his cheeks flush a lot more in the strange land…This book stirs a strange emotion in me as well, the mere mention of a piano takes me back to my childhood and adolescence. He is also faced with the brutality of life, the death of unintended victim of a hunting expedition, an attack by the dacoits, the sight of diseases and death, and his near death experience when he is infected with Malaria.As his captivation grows, however, so do his questions: about the Doctor’s true motives, about why he came, about an enchanting and elusive woman, Khin Myo, who stirs a strange emotion within Edgar that he never felt before. Across Europe, the Red Sea where he met a middle eastern man who knows of one story and tells of how he became deaf after listening to a strange sound in the desert across India and Burma, and into the remote highlands of the Shan states to the British fort in Mae Lwin, where Surgeon-Major Carroll is expecting his arrival.En route he is entranced by the Doctor’s letters, the daily lives of Burmese and the botanical excursions.

A piano is most affected by humidity (you don’t say!) and an off-tuned key play in this case increased in pitch and plays like a sharp key. The hammer felt needs to be checked and repaired (mine is all worn out, no one suggested a repair). Tune roughly the first time, regulate, and then tune again (my piano tuner only shows up once). A piano must be tuned several times usually, he said, as the act of tuning one string changes the dimensions of the soundboard so as to affect all the other strings. I learnt a lot more about the techniques of piano tuning in this novel. The sounds of my piano keys are never perfect.

Although he was a frequent visitor to upper-class homes, where the owners of expensive pianos often engaged him in talk about music, he never felt welcome. Besides, he just arrived.For Edgar had learned early that being needed was not the same as being accepted. But he reminded himself there was no need to rush things either.

The writer, Mason expends long paragraphs describing the scenes, the people, and Edgar’s long correspondence to his wife, and how the Erard Piano is transported through the jungles and out of the jungles etc……Who is Captain Anthony Carroll? Is he a British patriot who mediates war between the Shan tribes for the good of the British Empire or is he a traitor? Is Khin Myo seduction real or a mean to persuade Edgar to stay longer? Is it true what is happening with Edgar, as in The Odyssey, once you feed on the lotus, you forget the way home and prefer to stay with the lotus eater? Is Edgar’s idea of paradise a figment of his imagination as external force threatens to annihilate the inhabitants of the paradise?A beautiful novel and a great way to lose yourself in the Burmese jungle, set in another time.What I like most about the novel: historical well researched, a feel for the brutal politics of colonialism, to create a complex and subtly imagined adventure.Read like a classic. He played a Bach’s prelude and fugues collections of The Well-Tempered Clavier, a piano tuner piece in his opinion, a piece bound by strict rules of counterpoint, as all fugues are, the song is piece destined to follow the rules established in the first few lines, to present the beauty that is found in order, in rules – a piece that many in England would have dismiss it as too mathematical (I tend to agree!).As days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, we are, like Edgar, drawn into a Burmese lullaby of scenic highlands, lush verdant greeneries, cheerful laughter of women and children bathing and washing by the shimmering beauty of Salween river under the sun. Perhaps, he feels differently in Mae Lwin….Once Edgar finished tuning the piano, he was asked to play (despite his vehement protest that a piano tuner is not necessary a pianist!) for the sawbwa of Mongnai, one of the leaders of the Limbin Confederacy, with whom the British forces under Colonel Stedman have been at war for the last two months.

It was a melody, and before the motor kicked in and we moved away from the shore, I recognised it as the sound of a piano’ At the publication of this novel in 2004, Daniel Mason is a medical student at the University of California, San Francisco.To read more about Lotus Eater and Odyssey IX, click here.
