The Lucy Variations by Sara Zarr. “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.
When you’re used to performing for sold-out audiences and world-famous critics, can you ever learn to play just for yourself?”
