Bookroo's summary
In the roaring twenties, young jazz musician Ben dreams of making his mark. Amidst the art-deco backdrop, his talent and ambition collide with the era's vibrant music scene. Will his passion lead to triumph or heartbreak? Discover the rhythm of a life filled with yearning and the pursuit of dreams.
From the publisher
The story of Ben is fiction, but it could be the story of more than one jazz musician who grew up in the twenties. Using the art-deco style of the period, Rachel Isadora not only captures the poignancy and yearning of a youthful talent, but in page after page of striking art seems to convey the very sound of music.
