Concerts Manager Frances publishes her debut novel, Facing the Music
London, 1914. Gifted pianist Theo Browne and brilliant violinist Jonathan Lane-Fox stand on the threshold of glittering musical careers when war intervenes. Swept from the concert halls of London to the battlefields of the Western Front, their friendship, courage and identities as musicians are tested in ways neither could have imagined. Moving between London, the Dorset coast and war-torn Flanders, Facing the Music is a compelling story of music and friendship, love and loss, and what it means to be an artist when the very thing that defines you is threatened.
“…a must-read for music lovers everywhere” – Rhonda Rizzo, pianist and writer
