The couple marries and has three children: eldest son Jonah, a charismatic, egotistical singing prodigy; Joseph, his self-sacrificing accompanist; and Ruth, the rebel of the family, who becomes a militant black activist. There are two separate strands to the story: one is a third-person chronicle of David and Delia's relationship through the 1940s; the other, narrated by Joseph, is about the brothers' education in the nearly all-white world of classical music and their experience of the civil rights movement as the rest of the country grudgingly catches up to the Stroms' radical experiment. 650 0 $a African American women singers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Parent and adult child $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Racially mixed people $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interracial marriage $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interfaith marriage $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Immigrants $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jewish men $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Scientists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Singers $v Fiction. 650 7 $a African American women singers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799524 650 7 $a Immigrants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967712 650 7 $a Interfaith marriage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976212 650 7 $a Interracial marriage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977484 650 7 $a Jewish men. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00982850 650 7 $a Parent and adult child. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01053304 650 7 $a Racially mixed people. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086595 650 7 $a Scientists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108895 650 7 $a Singers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01119301 655 0 $a Musical fiction. 655 2 $a Fictional Work $0 (DNLM)D022922 655 4 $a Domestic fiction. 655 7 $a Musical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726679 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220429010443.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A5A15F90C78111EC88DDE91452ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
