Sextet Judy Jackson

Food writer Judy Jackson has a blog going out to over 25,000 young people. This is the audience for her second novel, Sextet. After the award-winning Camel Trail, she has come up with a story of music, adultery and a child's life in jeopardy. Does food come into it? Only in brief scenes where the two main characters are cooking and struggling to rebuild their lives. Joseph is a concert pianist; Tom is an art dealer. Both are coming to terms with tragedy. Sextet is a story for our time, written by an author (with twelve grandchildren) who has got into the lives and minds of young people today.
