Coming back to his childhood home after years of absence, Ben is unprepared for the secret, which is now revealed to him: his mother, Natasha, who used to be a brilliant pianist, is losing herself to mysterious disease, which turns the way her mind works into a riddle. His father’s new wife, Anita, looks remarkably similar to her—only much younger. Feeling isolated, being apart from love, how will Ben react to these marital affairs, when it is so tempting to resort to blame and guilt? “In our family, forgiveness is something you pray for, something you yearn to receive—but so seldom do you give it to others.”

Behind his father's back, Ben and Anita find themselves increasingly drawn to each other. They take turns using an old tape recorder to express their most intimate thoughts, not realizing at first that their voices—his eloquent speech, her slang—are being caught by his father. What emerges in this family is a struggle, a desperate, daring struggle to find a path out of conflicts, out of isolation, from guilt to forgiveness.

Dealing with the challenging prospects of the marriage of opposites, this book can be read as a standalone novel as well as part of one of family sagas best sellers. Still Life with Memories is a family saga series tinged with family saga romance, fraught with marital issues, and riddled with the difficulty of connecting fathers and sons.

Another Outstanding Book by Uvi Poznansky

ByElaine C Pereiraon May 4, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is my 2nd Uvi Poznansky book and like The Music of Us, it was awesome!. The author's writing style is genuine, thoughtful, provocative and in deep emotional pain. I see a real life person thinking, feeling, agonizing the way Ben, a fictional character, does.

Both of Uvi's books, The White Piano and The Music of Us, strike a cord of reality as my mother actually did succumb from Alzheimer's. Like Ben, I would have been over-the-top livid and unforgiving if what his father did fictionally was done to me. Fortunately I did not live such betrayal in real life.

The story moves on and continues to moves us.

ByB Nelsonon October 19, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

As I stated in my review of “My Own Voice (Still Life with Memories Book 1),” Uvi Poznansky is a favorite author. It’s because she writes beautiful books. She moves us as we feel the shame, the guilt, the desperate needs of the characters with whom we are immersed. This story is one of passion, at times muted, and often confused but always there simmering between the lines. “The White Piano (Still Life with Memories Book 2),” by Uvi Poznansky, continues and Anita is caught on tape. So much is caught . . . Highest recommendation. Five stars.

So deep you'll need to reread it to make sure you got all of the story tucked away.

ByWandaon November 12, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I am not going to rehash the story. Tell you guys what other reviewers have said already.
What I am going to tell you is that this book reminds of poetry in motion. Of music set to a tune the characters is humming in your ears. Of a tapestry seen through tinted glass.
As you read the story unfolds much like when you peel an onion. You might cry but you will also get to the part where the story turns sweetly bitter, deliciously aromatic - you will get to a point where you go - that is me!
This story is amazing. Don't take my word for it. Get your copy today and see for yourself.
And let yourself hum along.

The White Piano

ByGisela H. Sedlmayer, author of the Talon book serieson January 17, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Another marvelous written book, by Uvi Poznansky.
And like her previous book I have read, (nearly all books now) I could not put it down.

What is there to say? she moves my heart as I feel with the story of passion, love, pain, regrets and sorrow.

I won't say more. You have to get the well written book by the excellent author.

Highly recommended

Wonderful and fascinating story

ByMolly Flanderson September 3, 2015

Format: Kindle Edition

This book goes hand in hand with the author's "My own Voice" and the two work very well as a set.
The core of the story is Lenny's marriage to his second wife, Anita, a much younger version of his ex-wife Natasha, who has early onset Alzheimers. While one book follows the narrative of Anita, we now hear the story from Ben's side, who is Lenny's estranged son.
His observations cast a new light on the situation. His perspective, aided by letters from his mother, bring new revelations and peel further layers of the family. The author also uses tape recordings in the book, making this a very accomplished piece of story telling. While I don't often like 'clever' or constructed plot devices, here it works extremely well.
The author has a unique sharp and poignant writing style and with the change of perspectives she gives the characters further depth. Great writing, a fascinating premise and wonderful insight in human nature make this a read very worth your time.

Poetry in Prose

ByA Critical Readeron August 28, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Pure artistry! This book blew me away. It is so powerful and emotional and extremely well-written. The author bio states that she paints with words, and that is a perfect description.

To be honest, I wasn’t crazy about Anita’s dialog, but I suppose it’s just the bad grammar that drives me nuts. However, that’s who she is, and it fits, but it makes me like her even less. With that said, the author draws the reader in to each character, and you can really understand where Ben and his father are coming from and why they each feel what they feel. Even their mistakes and at times, peculiar behavior, entice you to read on and find out what happens next. And what happens next is never what you expect.

In short, the book deals with very deep issues and is incredibly moving. Wow- just… wow!
