The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom

It is the story of Frankie Presto as told by the muse Music. 

Frankie is a Spanish war orphan born in a burning church and raised by a blind guitar teacher, Frankie Presto was gifted with extraordinary musical abilities that shape not only his life but the lives of those around him. At nine years old, Frankie meets the love of his life, Aurora; that same day, civil war tears apart his home and he is sent to America, smuggled in the bottom of a boat with only guitar and six strings imbued with the power to change lives.

It is well written, thought provoking and has many little  unexpected connections you need to pay attention to.

A bit confusing sometimes as it jumps around in time.
