I loved this book it was of a steady pace with beautiful prose and through Benny's POV, I saw how he fell in love with Esther and how she rose above her skin color and what society wanted of her. As their songs become even stronger and more powerful they stir trouble from all sides, and the secrets Benny and Esther have may come to the surface. In these times Benny meets Esther, a gorgeous woman with an even more amazing voice, one that makes Benny want to collaborate with her, despite what others say and what society also demands of them. Now this beauty of a book takes place in America of the 60's with the segregation between 'white' and 'black' (other terms are also used in the book based on the society of that time, which I will not mention out of respect for the people and the history) and Benny Lament is a song-writter whose family is.the Italian Mafia.Īnother aspect of life during that time was also connected t some famous gangsters of that period. Some of her previous books dealt with WW II and the Jews, the Native American history, and also one had dealt with Ireland and its history via a theme similar to 'Outlander'. Not only because of her poetic writing style and prose but also because it touches subjects that few authors have dealt with especially in historical-contemporary-based books. I received an e-ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.Įvery Amy Harmon book is shot to my heart. But though America might love the music they make together, some people aren’t ready for Benny Lament and Esther Mine on-or off-the stage. Benny’s songs and Esther’s vocals are an explosive combination, a sound that fans can’t get enough of. But the music and the woman are too hard for the piano man to resist. And when Benny writes a hit song and performs it with her, their collaboration thrusts the duo onto the national stage…and stirs up old issues and new scrutiny that the mob-and Benny-would rather avoid. So he keeps to himself, writing songs for other musicians, avoiding the spotlight…until the night his father brings him to see Esther Mine sing.Įsther is a petite powerhouse with a gorgeous voice. With his father’s deep ties to the mob, the Bronx piano man has learned that love and family can get you in trouble. New York, 1960: For Benny Lament, music is his entire life. From the bestselling author of What the Wind Knows and From Sand and Ash comes a powerful love story about a musical duo who put everything on the line to be together.
