Lucy Robinson Reveals New Book For 2014 – The Unfinished Symphony Of You And Me
2014 sees the welcome return of one of our favourite Twitter friends and author, as Lucy Robinson revealed that she would release her third book this year called ‘The Unfinished Symphony of You and Me’.
The story of ‘The Unfinished Symphony of You and Me’ is –
It was an emergency. Tomorrow I was starting a post-graduate diploma in opera at the Royal College of Music, alongside ten of the world’s most talented young singers. Even though I was not a performer of any kind. Let alone an opera singer, with a wardrobe full of satin gowns and a family who owned a large country estate in Gloucestershire with butlers and horses. I was a quiet girl from a council estate in the Midlands, who hated attention. Did you hear me? I was not an opera singer.
Sally is an outstanding singer and – with the possible exception of a nice cup of tea and a slice of cake – she loves singing more than anything else in the world. Unfortunately, she only loves singing in her wardrobe where nobody can hear her: she’d rather cut her head off than sing in public.
For years she’s managed to hide her prodigious talent and has worked as a wardrobe mistress at the Royal Opera House. But then a wild, heady summer of love and loss in New York changes her life and she returns to London having made a promise to audition for Opera School . . . and to her utter horror, she’s offered a place.
The night before term starts, a tired, beautiful-looking man turns up on Sally’s doorstep with an old hand-written message in his hand and a nervous smile on his face. With him come the best and worst memories of Sally’s life and she is stunned speechless . . . Although she still manages to attack him with a piece of pork belly.
How did he find her? Why is he here? And, with him back on the
scene, how can she possibly fulfil her promise to train as a singer?
I must admit, this is one of my favourite surprise comebacks of 2014. I adored Lucy’s previous book ‘A Passionate Love Affair With A Total Stranger’ and this book sounds even better! With a wonderfully stunning cover and captivating synposis, I really look forward to having ‘The Unfinished Symphony of You and Me’ on my bookshelf!
‘The Unfinished Symphony Of You And Me’ will be available to buy from 7th July 2014.
