Our book for January is Partita by Barbara Kingsolver.
Livia Cable teaches piano and lives with her husband on a farm in rural Tennessee. Once a promising pianist with ambitions for a very different life, she has settled into the life she now has, until an unexpected phone call from a former lover brings the past back into focus.
Moving between her student years and middle age, the novel explores music, love, family secrets and what becomes of our early ambitions. How do we come to terms with the lives we haven’t lived, and find value in the ones we have?
