The America at the times of Prohibition and of segregation, but also America at the time of Jazz and Ragtime, the one that, between a bullet and the other, gave us immortal music pieces. And immortal is the star of this novel, fast paced as a piece of Scott Joplin, a black woman able to play with the same force, the same speed and the same rhythm of a man, to be truly the leader of a band, but also intelligent, ready and able to take control of her own destiny.
