Resumen del Editor
From the bestselling author of What the Wind Knows and From Sand and Ash comes a powerful love story about a musical duo who put everything on the line to be together.
New York, 1960: For Benny Lament, music is his entire life. With his father’s deep ties to the mob, the Bronx piano man has learned that love and family can get you in trouble. So he keeps to himself, writing songs for other musicians, avoiding the spotlight…until the night his father brings him to see Esther Mine sing.
Esther is a petite powerhouse with a gorgeous voice. And when Benny writes a hit song and performs it with her, their collaboration thrusts the duo onto the national stage…and stirs up old issues and new scrutiny that the mob--and Benny--would rather avoid.
It would be easier to walk away. But the music and the woman are too hard for the piano man to resist. Benny’s songs and Esther’s vocals are an explosive combination, a sound that fans can’t get enough of. But though America might love the music they make together, some people aren’t ready for Benny Lament and Esther Mine on--or off--the stage.
Reseñas de la Crítica

Historia
Beloved author Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction with a unique love story set in the New York City theater world during the 1940s. Told from the perspective of an older woman as she looks back on her youth with both pleasure and regret (but mostly pleasure), City of Girls explores themes of female sexuality and promiscuity, as well as the idiosyncrasies of true love. In 1940, nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College, owing to her lackluster freshman-year performance.

Historia
They were the gentlemen bad boys of rock. Forming in a garage in a small town in Indiana. Taking their licks on the road. Going balls to the wall until they made their big break. And then Preacher McCade and the Roadmasters redefined rock and roll. Guided by their tortured lead singer and songwriter, the Roadmasters changed the face of music in the '80s and '90s. And on their journey to becoming one of the most enduring bands in history - dogged by rumors and myth and fueled by drugs and booze - the Roadmasters had one touchstone.

Ugly Beautiful
First of all - I LOVED the format the author chose to tell the story. Very clever and very original. Made the story that much better.
Secondly - the narration is superb. Excellent. Take a bow Rob Shapiro - you make an excellent 60's DJ.
The story is well told and winds our way through some pretty ugly people and ugly situations that were very prevalent during the time period.
The love story is sweet, but the story of the racial and family struggles, all the tribulations and obstacles they face is what really brings this story along. The format of the DJ interviewing the MC really pulls this along and makes it feel more personal in a strange way.
Well worth the credit, probably a multiple listen book and well worth the extremely fast 15 hours.

One of the best books I've heard this year.
I became a fan of Amy Harmon through her "Saylock" books, which are great. But this book is amazing. It's a great story featuring great characters.
Rob Shapiro has outdone himself in this book: he doesn't narrate it, he performs it.

Great Story
This a well written, well read story filled with passion for love and music. I loved the clearly developed characters. The story was both personal and political taking place in a time of racial turmoil that still exists. No matter what your taste is in literature it would be hard not to love this tale. The reader was perfect. Thank you.

Best audiobook I have listen to in 2021
I’m stunned with this incredible story. This amazing characters and the wonderful work Amy Harmon has put into this book.
I need to gather my thoughts to write a full review but for now know that you MUST DEFINITELY need to grab The Song Book of Benny Lament. A book you will absolutely adore and get suck into. There’s no story like this.

Thoroughly enjoyed!
Loved listening to this production. And that’s what it felt like. More than a a regular book. You could tell how much effort went into it by both the author and narrator. I felt like I was listening to the radio show in real time and back in the 60s for their story. Enjoyed the back and forth. Excellent details. Love the name dropping from the 60s.
As for the narrator, I’ve enjoyed his previously work but this book has to be his best yet. He hit it out of the park. Everything was perfect… accents, timing. It’s like this book was written for his voice. I could have listened all day.
The story in itself was a great read. Yes we have issues in this broken world, we always will, but look how far we’ve come.
