Présentation de l'éditeur
Longlisted for the 2014 Miles Franklin Literary Award
I hold one regret from that day: that I put my first love, my cello, aside. But it was to take up a bigger love, a greater thing; it was to step into the future. Music's Most Modern Instrument. And I was to become Music's Most Modern Musician.
Tracy Farr's debut novel is the fictional memoir of Dame Lena Gaunt: musician, octogenarian, junkie. Documentary filmmaker Mo Patterson approaches veteran musician Lena Gaunt after watching her play at a festival in Perth: her first performance in 20 years.
While initially suspicious of Mo's intentions and reluctant to have her privacy invaded, Lena finds herself sharing stories from her past.
From a solitary childhood in Malacca and a Perth boarding school, to a glittering career in Jazz-age Sydney, to quiet domesticity in a New-Zealand backwater, Lena's is a life characterized by the pull of the sea, the ebb and flow of passion and loss, and her enduring relationship with that extraordinary instrument, the theremin.
Revue de presse
Tracy dares to go where many a writer might retreat, Lena's story full of raw power. This is writing that is not afraid. -- Dame Fiona Kidman, author of The Infinite Air
The skill in creating a protagonist so thoroughly believable makes The Life and Loves of Lena Gaunt an incredibly pleasurable, satisfying read. --The Buzz About
Tracy Farr's beautifully written and well-crafted novel combines music and art as she moves the reader around the globe through the dazzling 30s and 40s, paying tribute to the life of an artist in all its forms. --West Australian
A quiet gem of a novel...Farr is a vivid, evocative writer, with a gift for creating imagery from words. She brings Lena Gaunt to life.' --S.Roe, NetGalley reviewer
Compelling reading --The Listener
