(NLA) is pleased to announce the selection of their 10th annual Community Reads
book, <i>Beautiful Music</i> by Michael
Zadoorian. Set in the early 1970’s Detroit,
a racially divided city still reeling from its violent riot of 1967, <i>Beautiful Music</i> is the story of one young
man’s transformation through music. After
tragedy strikes the family, the young man finds his own reason to carry on:
rock ‘n’ roll. In the vein of Nick Hornby and Tobias Wolff, yet with a style
very much Zadoorian’s own, this 2018 Michigan Notable Book is a touching tale
about the power of music and its ability to <i>save
one’s soul</i>.</span></p>
