The Lucy variations, Sara Zarr, Christine Bouard-Schwartz

The piano, rehearsals, recitals. That was Lucy's whole life until she was 15. Until the day, at a music festival in Prague, she decided to leave the stage without having played a note. A child prodigy adored throughout her childhood, she is now a high school student like any other. Free to shape her own destiny, but subject to high school hours and assignment deadlines. With the help of Will, her little brother's young piano teacher, Lucy will try to find her way, far from the spotlight, but closer to what she truly desires...

"Sara Zarr leaves no word to chance in this superb portrait of a young music prodigy reclaiming her own life." Publishers Weekly
