ARTHUR PHILLIPS / The Song is You
Each song on Julian’s iPod, “that greatest of all human
inventions,” is a touchstone. There are songs for the girls from when he was
single, there’s the one for the day he met his wife-to-be, there’s one for the
day his son was born. But when Julian’s family falls apart, even music loses
its hold on him.
Until one snowy night in
Arthur Phillips is the internationally bestselling author of
Angelica, The Egyptologist, and
“Life is a tragedy for those who feel and a comedy for those
who think, and for those of us who try to think and feel, The Song Is You
captures the flip sides of life at middle age pretty much perfectly. Arthur
Phillips is that rare thing among fiction writers, a wise guy who’s also wise.”
-- Kurt Andersen
“Impossible to put down.” -- New York Times Book Review
