Cecelia Frey's incredible ear for dialogue brings a new sense of the dramatic to the Canadian novel. Her storytelling gift invites all of us into the hypnotic, hazardous world of popular music-making. Her narrator, Lilah Cellini, is the loving and reckless and singing voice of that world. Listen in! Jamey Popiloski dreams of becoming a rock star and Lilah Cellini dreams of Jamey. Together the young lovers hit the open asphalt, kicking up a musical storm along the way. While Jamey embraces the musician's life-style, along with its excesses, Lilah is confronted by choices that will ultimately take her far from her early days on Terrabain Street, a boarding-house locale well known to readers of Frey's award winning short story collection The Love Song Of Romeo Paquette.
