Summary:

From the moment in 1959 when ten-year old Hannah Schaeffer meets the famously unyielding Nadia Boulanger at the American Conservatory at Fontainebleau, she is destined to live a life steeped in music. Forty-eight years later, the glass-ceiling-smashing conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic learns her contract may not be renewed. And as if losing her long-sought podium isn’t enough to end her world, the once prolific composer can’t seem to write a single note. As if losing her long-sought podium isn't enough to end her world, the once prolific composer can't seem to write a single note. In search of solace and inspiration, she returns to Paris, where she begins to wonder if there might be life--and maybe even love--just beyond the music."-- Provided by publisher.
