"Flute and Violin, and Other Kentucky Tales and Romances" by James Lane Allen is a compilation of stories set in late 1800s Kentucky, exploring the themes of love, people's actions, and how music can stir emotions. The first tale features Reverend James Moore, a kind and reflective man devoted to his religious work but also known for his strange habits and love for his flute, and his nightly flute playing provides him comfort from his troubles. When he suddenly stops playing, it sparks mystery and hints at a deeper story of loss, love, and the complications of being human.
