Soon Frank becomes both her connection to the world and her escape from reality. She loses herself in his paintings and drawings, mix CDs, and late-night IM conversations. Brilliant and lonely, Glory is drawn to Frank, who moves in next door. Her father raise her with the goal playing sold-out shows at Carnegie Hall and across the globe. After her mother died, she treated into her music. From backcover: Glory is a piano prodigy. The publisher provided me with a copy of this book to review.2012 Trade Paperback edition of Chopsticks by Jessica Anthony and Rodrigo Corral, A Novel. I recommend Chopsticks for readers aged 14 and up. The combination of words, images and video create a compelling story through to the end. Readers can check out links to YouTube videos that highlight performances from the movie “Big” with Tom Hanks, Hoagy Carmichael playing the Chopsticks waltz and more. Jessica Anthony and Rodrigo Corral use innovative storytelling techniques to keep you turning pages looking for clues to what happens to Glory and Frank. But when Glory is scheduled on a European tour and Frank’s grades spiral down, both begin to spin out of control. They start to spend time together, sharing playlists, texting each other, and hanging out. In high school a boy from Argentina move next door, and Glory’s life expands a bit. As she grows, her progress is send through recital programs from Carnegie Hall, articles in “The New Yorker,” and photos of Glory with her piano-teacher dad.
We see photos of her parents’ marriage, her pregnant mother, and notices of her mother’s death when Glory was only 8. and Europe, and she is renowned for her modern innovations on classical pieces.įrom this beginning, the story of what happened to Glory is slowly revealed through scrapbook cuttings, photos, drawings and more. Only 17 at the time, Glory has already played at top venues in the U.S. As Chopsticks opens, Glory Fleming, child prodigy that critics hailed as “the Brecht of the Piano,” has gone missing from the rest home where she was staying and being treated for exhaustion.
