Join the Chronicle Book Club!
"The Singer Sisters" by Sarah Seltzer
The Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle invites you to join the Chronicle Book Club for its Sept. 22 discussion of “The Singer Sisters,” by Sarah Seltzer. From the Jewish Book Council: “Journalist and cultural critic Sarah Seltzer has written a remarkable debut novel that taps into her deep well of knowledge about feminism and rock history. ‘The Singer Sisters’ is about two generations of a folk-rock dynasty and the sacrifices these female artists must make in the pursuit of their dreams.”
“The chief protagonists, though ‘antagonists’ might be a better word, are 1960s folk legend Judie — think Joan Baez or Judy Collins — and her nineties-era, black nail polish–wearing, alt-rock daughter, Emma. This ingenious story weaves in fascinating sub¬plots about other members of their talented clan as it explores the conflict between being a mother and writing great songs.”
The author hopes to join us for the meeting!
