The Sound of Turquoise is deceptively simple - it begins with simple language and childhood memories and builds into a multi-layered, multi-faceted story that spans a century, and crosses Europe. With several unreliable narrators and many shifting perspectives, it would be easy for the story to collapse into a mess, but Gregory's deft use of patterns and poetic use of language keeps a taut structure, making for a compelling read.
