Beschreibung

<p><strong>From the author of the <em>New York Times</em> bestseller <em>Everybody Rise</em>, a rich and riveting novel with the exquisite historical detail and evocative settings of <em>The Cold Millions </em>and <em>Great Circle </em>that tells the story of one unforgettable woman's rise in country and western music.</strong></p><p>It's 1980, and Lillian Waters is hitting the road for the very last time.</p><p>Jaded from her years in the music business, perpetually hungover, and diagnosed with career-ending vocal problems, Lillian cobbles together a nationwide farewell tour featuring some old hands from her early days playing honky-tonk bars in Washington State and Nashville, plus a few new ones. She yearns to feel the rush of making live music one more time and bask in the glow of a packed house before she makes the last, and most important, stop on the tour: the farm she left behind at age ten and the sister she is finally ready to confront about an agonizing betrayal in their childhood.</p><p>As the novel crisscrosses eras, moving between Lillian's youth?the Depression, the Second World War, the rise of Nashville?and her middle-aged life in 1980, we see her striving to build a career in the male-dominated world of country music, including the hard choices she makes as she tries to redefine music, love, aging, and womanhood on her own terms.</p><p>Nearing her final tour stop, Lil is forced to confront those choices and how they shaped her life. Would a different version of herself have found the happiness and success that has eluded her? When she reaches her Washington hometown for her very last show, though, she'll undergo a reckoning with the past that forces her to reconsider her entire life story.</p><p>Exploring one unforgettable woman's creativity, ambition, and sacrifices in a world?and an art form?made for men, <em>The Farewell Tour </em>asks us to consider how much of our past we can ever leave behind.</p>
