It is rare to find a novel as intellectually and emotionally engaging as this' GUARDIAN\nJonah, Ruth, and Joseph are the children of mixed-race parents who aspire to raise them beyond the constraints of time and identity, immersing them in a world of song. However, they cannot shield them from the realities of the outside world forever.\nJonah, a talented young tenor, finds that the opera world remains preoccupied with his race. Ruth, rejecting classical music, disappears instead into a life dedicated to activism and a new relationship. Over the years, Joseph - the middle child, a pianist, and our narrator - struggles not only to stay connected to his siblings but also to carve out a future on his own.\nA powerful story of a tragedy of race in America, The Time of Our Singing is an enthralling, harrowing novel about the lives of choices of one family at the crossroads of identity.","brand":"Cornerstone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50299488829728,"sku":"9781804951828","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781804951828.jpg?v=1785184565","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/time-of-our-singing-richard-powers-9781804951828","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
