O tym produkcie

Product Information

It is the early 1960s, and Chicago is teeming with the tensions of the day-segregation, sexual experimentation, the Cold War, and Vietnam-but it is also home to some of the country's most influential jazz. Naomi Hill, a singer at the Blue Angel club, has been poised on the brink of stardom for nearly ten years. But when her big break, the cover of Look magazine, finally arrives, it carries with it an enormous personal cost. Sensual and magnetic, Naomi is a fiercely ambitious yet self-destructive woman whose charms tend to hurt those around her, and no one knows this better than her daughter, Sophia. As the only child of a single mother growing up in an adult world, Sophia is wise beyond her years, a casualty of her mother's desperate struggle for fame and adoration. Her only constant is the colorful and unconventional family that surrounds them, particularly the photographer Jim who is Sophia's best friend, surrogate father, and protector-but Jim is also deeply in love with Naomi. Last Night at the Blue Angel is a poignant and unforgettable story about what happens when our passion for the life we want is at sharp odds with the life we have. Part stylish period piece, part heartbreaking family drama, it's a vivid and propulsive page-turner-and the major debut of an extraordinary new writer.

Reviews
One of the most evocative renderings of a child's precocity and appreciativeness in the face of a mother's distracted self-absorption-and how it actually feels to be in thrall to someone else's happiness-since Mona Simpson's Anywhere But Here ., [An] engaging debut . . . Rotert has composed a soulful and touchingly sad mother-daughter blues that lingers after it's over., It is hard to believe that Last Night at the Blue Angel is Rebecca Rotert's debut, as it simply shimmers with feeling. Her range of emotional evocation and ability to touch a reader so fiercely with beautiful words makes the book a pure pleasure to read., A fascinating and extraordinarily moving first novel populated by complex, sympathetic characters and told in such gorgeous, poetic prose that you'll frequently stop to linger over the sentences. Rebecca Rotert is the real deal.

You'll carry these characters around in your head long after you finish this exuberant, big-hearted novel., Sophia Hill can take her place proudly beside such affecting child narrators as Francie Nolan of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and Scout Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird . . . . an engaging story., Rebecca Rotert's stirring debut does what the best novels do: it draws us deep into the lives of indelible characters while also telling us the broader story of a time and place, in this case, a mid-twentieth century Midwest where repressive social mores are just beginning to fray., A striking discovery, filled with surprises both marvelous and shocking. As the story weaves back and forth in time, spinning out the lives and dreams of a mother and a daughter, the language itself sings in moments of poignant beauty., [A] delicious debut . . . While Naomi may perform on stage, it is her daughter Sophia who steals the show and gives this novel its considerable heart., Last Night at the Blue Angel is a gorgeously written coming of age story and a clear-eyed account of the human damage that great artistry can leave in its wake., One of the most evocative renderings of a child's precocity and appreciativeness in the face of a mother's distracted self-absorption--and how it actually feels to be in thrall to someone else's happiness--since Mona Simpson's Anywhere But Here ., A moving portrait of a tumultuous yet tender mother-daughter relationship . . . With lush prose and well-drawn characters, this heartbreaking novel of love, loss, and the redemptive power of music also offers a satisfying glimpse of Chicago at a pivotal point in history., Telling the story from Sophia's and Naomi's distinct perspectives, Rotert creates an expressive and haunting narrative highlighting Sophia's innocent vulnerability and her mother's single-minded obsession. . . . A tale that's poignant, poetic and heart-wrenching throughout., Rebecca Rotert traces the difficult contours of love and devotion—a fame-bound singer desperate to change her life, and her daughter, Sophia, who'll risk anything to stay in her mother's marred circle of light. Luminous and deeply affecting, this book swept me along and stole my heart., Rebecca Rotert traces the difficult contours of love and devotion-a fame-bound singer desperate to change her life, and her daughter, Sophia, who'll risk anything to stay in her mother's marred circle of light.
