Recensione:
Publishers Weekly Well-drawn, emotionally nuanced characters...[a] compulsively readable tale.
People The situations Tucker describes here in starkly lyrical prose are as chilling as if they were all derived from her own experiences...but she never gets too sentimental. Instead, Patty's voice just feels honest...As she did in her 2003 first novel, The Song Reader, Tucker uses music to frame this story, and like a well-crafted song it builds in intensity until its explosive ending.
The Philadelphia Inquirer Patty is a character searching for her voice...And what a wonderfully drawn character she is. Tucker has the gift of knowing what to say and what to just suggest. She lets Patty tell her own story without self-pity despite plenty of pain and sadness...Much of her strength comes from her love for her son, her deep desire that he have a better life than she. Here, too, Tucker's portrayal is refreshingly real.
Bookreporter Tucker's debut novel The Song Reader was an original and engrossing premise coupled with compelling writing. With that one book Tucker cemented herself as a strong new voice, a talented writer to watch for in the future. Now in her sophomore effort, Shout Down the Moon, Tucker proves that The Song Reader was no fluke; she has more stories to tell.
The Romance Reader Beautifully written, heartbreakingly real and ultimately hopeful...Tucker is a writing force to be reckoned with.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Her acclaimed debut, "The Song Reader, " won her praise as a "brilliant new literary talent" "(The Albuquerque Tribune)." Now, Lisa Tucker returns with a starkly lyrical novel of page-turning intensity and rare emotional power. Patty Taylor can handle anything. So what if the guys in her band dismiss her as just a pretty face, hired by their manager to make them more popular? She's already survived a bad childhood, a destructive teenage relationship, homelessness, and working twelve-hour shifts washing dishes. Traveling with the band gives her a way to provide for Willie, the two-year-old son she adores. But on a hot summer day in Kentucky, when Willie's father shows up outside her hotel room, newly paroled from prison and intent on having her and his son back, Patty begins a journey that will change her from a girl who can put up with anything to a woman with a voice that can bring the house down. "Shout Down the Moon" is about following dreams and overcoming obstacles, about finding your voice and becoming the hero of your own life. In Patty Taylor, Lisa Tucker has created an unlikely heroine, a gutsy girl with a wry sense of humor, whose life will depend on having the courage to trust in her big talent and even bigger heart. Her acclaimed debut, "The Song Reader," won her praise as a "brilliant new literary talent" ("The Albuquerque Tribune"). Now, Lisa Tucker returns with a starkly lyrical novel of page-turning intensity and rare emotional power.
