Music's remorseless grip on our hearts and minds is the subject of British novelist and poet Lavinia Greenlaw's slow-burning, exquisitely idiosyncratic new book, The Importance of Music to Girls. In bite-sized chapters, Greenlaw hurtles down the rabbit hole and reconstructs her musical education, starting with her earliest memories and ending with her leaving school.
