Meet teenage drummer Jane Bowman. She’s fifteen, funny, and wounded by

the fiery death of her famous Latin-jazz percussionist mother. Robin Meloy Goldsby’s touching and humorous coming-of-age musical odyssey invites us to tap our toes in time to Jane’s powerful music—cheering her on as she mends her shattered heart, finds her groove, and discovers the tragic beauty of human resilience.

 

“Rhythm conveys the magic of sound plus the transformative power of music, and the words—like a well-played melody—ring true.”

Peter Erskine, drummer and author of Time Awareness for All Musicians

 

“Vivid and heart warming, Rhythm explores the joyous addiction musicians

have to their craft. Rhythm is a hit!”

John Riley, drummer

 

“Goldsby’s first novel (after her 2005 memoir Piano Girl), spans 15 years in

the life of her gritty, resilient protagonist and is told with lyrical prose and

deft characterization. Well-written, sympathetically earnest fiction.”

Kirkus Discoveries

 

 

“Goldsby, who marries the pathos of her plot line with the whimsy

and near-magical realism of her characters, deserves comparison

with John Irving, a modern master.”

Marion Winik, NPR commentator and author of First Comes Love

 

“Goldsby has a wicked sense of humor and a keen eye for the absurd.”
