I thought it was interesting to learn more about why Berniece won't play the piano. It seems that after her father died, her mother became very depressed (and maybe a little crazy?) and was constantly pressuring Berniece to play on the piano. Berniece said that she thought there were spirits in the house when she played, and that's why she won't play it- she doesn't want the spirits around. This also connects to Sutter's ghost, and how Doaker found him sitting at the piano a few weeks before this. So maybe that's going to become a major plot point: The piano attracts spirits.
I'm still surprised that this book has supernatural events in it.
I commented: "I don't really like Wining Boy, especially when he was trying to get Doaker to give him more money. You're right, he's really cheap." on Blake's blog.
