About Partita by Barbara Kingsolver
Livia Bohusz is eleven when her brother Cyrus dies, leaving her adrift in the silence of the family farm. Music becomes a refuge, and piano practice opens the possibility of a life beyond home. A college music scholarship gives her room to pursue that possibility, though fitting in among more urbane classmates is not easy.
As Livia’s story unfolds, a consequential encounter unsettles her path. Partita brings together a coming-of-age narrative and reflections on love, longing, and the hopes and regrets of midlife, with music central to its emotional landscape. It may appeal to readers of character-focused literary fiction, stories about family and grief, and novels concerned with the ways artistic ambition can shape a life.
