New novel just published about a Concert Cellist
 
I hope this post is not considered 'trolling', if so, I sincerely apologise. But, I'm the agent of British author, Nigel Cooper, who's latest novel, Sophia, has just this week been published. Sophia is a story about a 22-year old concert cellist. I'm simply posting this as I know it is relevant to string players and I'm positive that ABRSM forum members (especially cellists and even other classical soloists) will be interested in this new novel as it is very rare that an author writes fiction about a classical musician.
 
Details of Sophia can be found on Amazon. It is on Kindle now, the paperback will follow in a couple of days time.
 
The link is:

I sincerely hope nobody gets offended or thinks it is cheeky of me posting this newsworthy link. And, I hope it is not considered trolling as I'm posting details about a book that is relevant and could be of interest to cellists and other solo classical musicians. It is NOT just a post about some silly product that has no relevance at all.
 
Thank you.

Thank you, Steve. That does indeed appear to be both relevant and interesting to many members here.

Thank you, Steve - and I just want to bump this thread to point out that my favorite new book of 2013 was a novel written BY a concert cellist, Edward Kelsey Moore of the Chicago Sinfonietta.

It's called The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat and it's joyous.
