More Than You Know

In this wonderfully evocative first novel, Rosalyn Story sweeps us deftly into the mystery and dailiness of a family where tragedy and love are inextricably bound. The emotional intensity that deepens as the story unfolds is matched only by Story's tour de force of language. She gives us the intricacies of jazz music and metaphor in a way that turns each chapter into a verse of the song that teaches us what it costs to be a full human being.--Maxine Clair, author of Rattlebone and October Suite A poignant novel rich with lyricism. The pictures Rosalyn Story paints with her words are stunning, and I swear I could hear L.J. Tillman's saxophone serenading me as I read.--Bernice McFadden, author of Sugar, The Warmest December, and Camilla's Roses Lyrical and lovely; how rare it is for a book to transport me to another time and place the way this novel does. Rosalyn Story evokes the lives and loves of her characters with beauty and genuine compassion. What a wonderful book this is.--David Haynes, author of Somebody Else's Mama and The Full Matilda Lyrical and lovely; how rare it is for a book to transport me to another time and place the way this novel does.
