HEART AND SOUL

Book ID/图书代码： 06830008B28514

English Summary/英文概要： Brash and bold, Bess Stallone is an ordinary girl with an extraordinary gift. Though she was born on the wrong side of the tracks, fate and a God-given talent join forces to catapult her from the humble shores of Rocky Beach, Long Island, to the spotlight at Carnegie Hall, alongside the great David Montagnier. Unattainable, famous, and impossibly handsome, David holds the key to Bess’s dreams—and, more surprisingly, she holds the keys to his.

But David’s brilliance masks wounds that may never heal. When their romance is shattered, Bess must make a fateful journey back to her music—and to an unexpected lover who is waiting in the wings.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书讲述了Bess Stallone与David Montagnier刻骨铭心的爱情以及他们之间难以忘记的伤痛。Bess Stallone出生于长岛一个不起眼的海滩边，是一个有点傲慢又大胆的普通女孩，但却有着异于常人的音乐天赋，而英俊帅气的David Montagnier则是一个高不可攀、声名远扬的音乐大师，他们的故事就从卡内基音乐厅的邂逅开始。(兼职翻译-ZXY)

Awards/获奖情况：As in her deservedly popular Out of the Blue, Mandel here displays her talent for establishing a strong female lead in an appealing milieu with an equally intriguing love interest. Frank-talking Long Island native Bess Stallone ("no relation") is a gifted pianist, fascinated and formed by music from an early age, but in every other way an unlikely virtuoso. With her difficult family life, wrong-side-of-island provenance and paralyzing stage fright, she’s the perfect narrator to spin out Mandel’s trademark self-deprecating humor. Bess has gotten into Juilliard and attracted the attention of the brilliant and renowned pianist David Montagnier, who wants her to be his partner at first on stage, and later in the bedroom. In a series of skillful scenes, Mandel takes Bess from down and out to what seems like the life of her dreams. But David, however potentially compelling as a character, remains a gorgeous cipher until the end, while good guy Jake, Bess’s high school buddy, is telegraphed too clearly as being the one Bess is destined to be with. Mandel could have written a much deeper book, since both David’s past with his tragic mother, Aimee, and Bess’s history with Jake would have added weight and balance. The strong supporting characters and an ending that almost satisfies wrap up a package that leaves the reader wanting more.
