Sounds Like Titanic: A Memoir
by Jessica Chiccehitto Hindman
Fake Music???!!! (1/17/2019)
In the age of fake news why not a story of fake music? Jessica Chiccehitto Hindman, a middling "concert" violinist from West Virginia, is hired on for a national tour with a well-known, yet unnamed, composer. Her musical skills, no matter how good or how bad, make no difference to the orchestra since what she plays isn't heard by the audience. What they hear is simply music played from the composer's cd player.

While this deception forms the basis for the story, there is so much more to the author than this. She arrives in New York as a very naïve, sheltered young woman, her pluck serves her well and her personal growth throughout her story is compelling and makes for a very good read. Thumbs up for the author. Thumbs up for her writing.
