"Far-away Stories" by William John Locke is filled with short stories that whisk the reader away to different times and lands, inspiring feelings of both longing and excitement. The book starts with "The Song of Life," where we meet Angelo Fardetti, an older musician. Angelo is a tall, thin Italian man who hasn't reached the musical heights he wished for. He feels sad about his unfulfilled dreams but finds joy in teaching Geoffrey Chase, a young composer with incredible potential. As Geoffrey's talent grows, Angelo feels a mix of happiness and loss while the narrative powerfully examines themes of legacy, affection, and the complex emotions tied to making art.
