The Lucy Variations
Sara Zarr
Fiction Z191ℓ
Lucy Beck-Moreau once had a promising
future as a concert pianist. The right people knew her name, her
performances were booked months in advance, and her future seemed
certain.
That was all before she turned fourteen.
Now,
at sixteen, it's over. A death, and a betrayal, led her to walk away.
That leaves her talented ten-year-old brother, Gus, to shoulder the full
weight of the Beck-Moreau family expectations. Then Gus gets a new
piano teacher who is young, kind, and interested in helping Lucy
rekindle her love of piano -- on her own terms. But when you're used to
performing for sold-out audiences and world-famous critics, can you ever
learn to play just for yourself?
National Book
Award finalist Sara Zarr takes readers inside one girl's struggle to
reclaim her love of music and herself. To find joy again, even when
things don't go according to plan. Because life isn't a performance, and
everyone deserves the chance to make a few mistakes along the way.
