<p><b>''There is no contemporary American writer quite like Richard Powers ... It is rare to find a novel as intellectually and emotionally engaging as this'' <i>GUARDIAN</i></b><br><br>Jonah, Ruth, and Joseph are the children of mixed-race parents who aspire to raise them beyond the constraints of time and identity, immersing them in a world of song. However, they cannot shield them from the realities of the outside world forever.<br><br>Jonah, a talented young tenor, finds that the opera world remains preoccupied with his race. Ruth, rejecting classical music, disappears instead into a life dedicated to activism and a new relationship. Over the years, Joseph - the middle child, a pianist, and our narrator - struggles not only to stay connected to his siblings but also to carve out a future on his own.<br><br>A powerful story of a tragedy of race in America, <i>The Time of Our Singing</i> is an enthralling, harrowing novel about the lives of choices of one family at the crossroads of identity.</p>
