The Rose Variationsby Marisha Chamberlain |
Arlene Almas: Rose arrives at graduate school in St. Paul
as a cello player and teacher, and composer as well. The author's vivid
descriptions of her personality, friends, and lovers bring her alive - her
story is emotionally riveting. All through the ups and downs of her life,
Rose never gives up seeking success in her chosen field of composing
orchestral music. At the same time, she is seeking friendship and love. This is a young woman with a lot of energy and spirit, and I enjoyed accompanying her on her voyage through a very meaningful part of her life.
