The novel
A novel in two voices.
Milli Weisman can't imagine her life without the faded blue Joni Mitchell record she found in the attic. It set her on the path to becoming a lecturer in music history at UCLA. But when the line between the personal and the general starts to give way, Milli's life splits between the reality taking shape in America and the one still echoing inside her, in Hebrew.
