About the Book:
An Immersive Story of Music, Struggle, and Starting Over from an Award-Winning Author
Michael
Sullivan is a talented lyricist and a decent guitarist, but since he
was kicked out of his band (and his apartment), he's not sure he'll ever
get a record deal. Living with his loser uncle in a beat-up trailer and
working a dead-end job, Michael has little reason to hope for a better
future. Until the invitation for a swanky New Year's Eve party shows up
in the mailbox. It's for his uncle, with whom he shares his name, but
his uncle is going out of town . . .
On the effervescent night
of December 31, 1989--as the Berlin Wall is coming down, the Soviet
Union is inching toward democracy, and anything seems possible--Michael
will cross paths with the accomplished and enigmatic young heir to a
fading musical dynasty, forever altering both of their futures.
Award-winning
novelist Erin Bartels enchants with this story of two lonely souls who
have exactly what the other one needs--if they could simply turn their
focus from what is ending to what is just beginning.
My Review:
If you are musically inclined you will love the idea and premise of this novel. It is a really seasoned romantic fiction title that also lends itself to the history of the times. While Michael Sullivan's world is falling about personally, globally isnt doing such a good job either.
The 1980's and early 90's were a really great time here in the United States. But I was a child back then and to be honest wish I could go back. The main characters Michael and Natalie's path cross and it takes them on a different path that was intended---just like fate usually does.
A great read and a great look into the past!
