PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Isabel Rogers writes poetry and fiction, but never on the same day. She won the 2014 Cardiff International Poetry Competition, was Hampshire Poet Laureate 2016, and her debut collection, Don't Ask, came out in 2017 (Eyewear). Life, Death and Cellos is her first novel to be published. She had a proper City job before a decade in the Scottish Highlands, writing and working in the NHS. She now lives in Hampshire, laughs a lot, and neglects her cello. You can find her on Twitter: @Isabelwriter More information about the author is available on her website: isabelrogers.org
'A witty and irreverent musical romp, full of characters' Claire King 'With its retro humour bordering on farce, this offers an escape into the turbulent (and bonkers) world of the orchestra' Isabel Costello 'I was charmed... a very enjoyable read' Marian Keyes 'Life, Death and Cellos is that rare thing – a funny music book. Rogers knows the world intimately, and portrays it with warmth, accuracy and a poetic turn of phrase. Sharp, witty and richly entertaining' Lev Parikian, author of Why Do Birds Suddenly Disappear? 'Dodgy post-rehearsal curries, friendly insults between musicians, sacrosanct coffee-and-biscuit breaks, tedious committee meetings: welcome to the world of the amateur orchestra. Throw in a stolen Stradivarius, an unexpected fatality and the odd illicit affair and you have Life, Death and Cellos, the first in a new series by Isabel Rogers' Rebecca Franks, BBC Music Magazine '... a very funny tale of musical shenanigans set in the febrile atmosphere of the Stockwell Park Orchestra' Ian Critchley
