Night Music

De: Jenn Marie Thorne

Narrado por: Sarah Beth Goer

Ruby has always been Ruby Chertok: future classical pianist and daughter of renowned composer Martin Chertok. But after her horrendous audition for the prestigious music school where her father is on faculty, it's clear that music has publicly dumped her. Now Ruby is suddenly just...Ruby. And who is that again? All she knows is that she wants away from the world of classical music for good.

Oscar is a wunderkind, a musical genius. Just ask any of the 1.8 million people who've watched him conduct on YouTube - or hey, just ask Oscar. But while he might be the type who'd name himself when asked about his favorite composer and somehow make you love him more for it, Oscar is not the type to jeopardize his chance to study under the great Martin Chertok - not for a crush. He's all too aware of how the ultra-privileged world of classical music might interpret a black guy like him falling for his benefactor's white daughter. But as the New York City summer heats up, so does the spark between Ruby and Oscar. Soon, their connection crackles with the same alive, uncontainable energy as the city itself.

Can two people still figuring themselves out figure out how to be together? Or will the world make the choice for them?

The narrator brought the book alive for me

A touching, sensitively written romance, The narrator took the story to the next dimension. I stopped hearing her voice and just watched the story unfold in my head in the characters' voices. The author must be very pleased with what she has done for her book.

Great read—audio book is a must!

Sarah Beth Goer’s impeccable pacing and careful characterization give life and breath to Jenn Marie Thorne’s beautiful story about self-discovery, coming of age in the painful corruption of industry, and learning to find and share one’s own voice. I can’t recommend the audiobook highly enough. Goer’s interpretation is a gift, emphasizing the well-written prose in all the right ways.
