What to expect
From dark and humble beginnings, a master musician rises to take the world by storm. Nick Raze, a violin virtuoso, exists at the height of popularity, while his life remains a well-protected mystery.
A year of artist-in-residency in Chicago introduces him to a man who offers him his first friendship and a woman who offers him his first taste of love. Now Nick must make a choice to fight against the bonds of his past in order to escape the isolation of his heart.
This is the sensitive, sometimes painful look at the life behind the media hype and the heart behind the music.
Critics Review
-
“The story flows easily and is carried by the wonderful voice of Christopher Lane. If there’s an ‘American sound,’ Lane has it. He speaks lightly, clearly, and with the greatest warmth for every character…He sounds like a friend who reads in that comfortable way of a person who wants you to hear and understand, giving the listener a beautiful experience. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
