Chopsticks: A Novel



Chopsticks: A Novel
Jessica Anthony & Rodrigo Corral
Fiction An867c

Glory is a piano prodigy. After her mother died, Glory retreated into herself and her music. Her father raised her with the goal of playing sold-out shows at Carnegie Hall and across the globe. Brilliant and lonely, Glory is drawn to Frank, who moves in next door. She loses herself in his paintings and drawings, mix CDs and late-night IM conversations. Soon, Frank becomes both her connection to the world--and her escape from reality.

Before long, Glory is unable to pay anything but the song "Chopsticks"; F and G notes moving closer together, and farther apart.

Now Glory has disappeared.  But nothing is what it seems. And we must decide what is real, what is imagined, and what has been madness all along....
