Listen to the rhythm of #BookFaceFriday!

This week’s #BookFace is all about chasing your dreams. “Songs in Ursa Major” is a scintillating debut by Emma Brodie (Knopf, 2021), a love story that’s all about music and the trappings of fame. Filled with the heart and vibes of the early 70’s music scene, the novel has a powerful core that asks how much are you willing to sacrifice for your dreams? You can listen to the audiobook yourself through Nebraska OverDrive Libraries!

“Entrancing… This superbly crafted debut novel immerses readers in a story of family, love, and music from the first page. Brodie makes a point about the destructive force of drug abuse, and bears witness to unsavory business practices in the music industry. This book would make a wonderful movie; readers will long for an album of Jane’s songs to go with it.”
