Libby, mother of Bridget and Robert, was once the lead singer of a band, Liberty. Something she has never spoken to her children about. When Bridget looks for a new direction for her life and considers going back to college, she meets Dean and is encouraged by him to use Libby’s musical past in her entrance presentation. This she does without her mother’s knowledge, never expecting how extreme Libby’s reaction would be when she finds out.
This is but a smidgen of what goes on in this storyline, but the rest you can find out for yourselves. And you’ll want to because this is a highly entertaining novel that has its roots deep in the music industry of the 1980s, and all the murky characters it spawned back then, right up to the present day.
Wilke writes with authority on the musical aspects of the storyline. Her writing is beautifully intelligent and flows flawlessly as she puts her wonderfully developed characters through their paces. Secrets are revealed and loves lost and found in this compelling novel that will have you wanting to read just one more chapter before you turn out the light.
This is another superb novel by Lorraine Devon Wilke and I need to go and check I’ve read everything she’s produced as I’d hate to have missed one word of her perfectly produced prose. Obviously highly recommended.
Thanks for posting this review. Lorraine Devon Wilke is one of my all-time favourite writers. Her new book has been sitting in my TBR pile, and I can’t wait to start reading.
She’s fantastic, isn’t she! I’m sure you’ll enjoy this one. I’ve just been to check she hasn’t released anything I haven’t read and there were a couple of short story things so they will have to keep me going 🙂
