Songs in Ursa Major by Emma Brodie

Songs in Ursa Major by Emma Brodie

Discover the master of the modern minimalist, Mies van der Rohe, one of the defining and most hotly debated tastemakers of the twentieth century. In pursuit of elemental truth, van der Rohe crafted an almost nothing architecture, criticized by some as bland, extolled by others as the paradigm of purity.

‘Emma Brodie perfectly channels the languorous romance of the time and the beautiful struggle of an artistic soul trying to break free. . I got chills’ Kevin Kwan, #1 bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians

‘Utterly transporting, it’ll inspire a folk-tinged soundtrack for the summer’ Stylist

‘A fabulous read . . . ideal if you liked the movie A Star is Born’ Good Housekeeping

‘A gorgeous, one-gulp novel about two star-crossed singers that’s full of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll . . . And if you enjoyed Daisy Jones And The Six, this will be a big hit with you too’ RED

‘This alluring debut has an Almost Famous vibe” People, Book of the Week

‘Sexy, atmospheric, and entertaining — this novel is pure joy on the page’ Christina Baker Kline, #1 bestselling author of Orphan Train

‘Oh, I loved this! The atmosphere. The drama. Jane Quinn has singing in her blood and we follow her rollercoaster music career alongside a love story that you will keep rooting for . . . This has such a cinematic feel; I hope it is snapped up for a film or boxset’ Nina Pottell, PRIMA, June Book of the Month

‘Moving from New York to Los Angeles to Greece to the Grammys… Brodie's debut is a furious page turner, meditating on the glittering beast of fame’ Booklist

‘In the vein of Daisy Jones and the Six and The Final Revival of Opal and Nev, Songs In Ursa Major is an intoxicating chronicle of the music industry, inspired largely by the love affair between artists Joni Mitchell and James Taylor’ Elle

‘This book brings the reader behind the scenes of recording studios and offers a love letter to the ‘70s music industry, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a brilliant examination of creativity, sacrifice and what we do for art’ Katherine Heiny, author of Early Morning Riser

‘Splashy, engrossing reading. Songs in Ursa Major is pure sun-soaked summer fun’ Kate Quinn, bestselling author of The Alice Network
