{"product_id":"9780802137302","title":"Joyful Noise: Claiming the Songs of My Fathers","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn A Joyful Noise, Deborah Weisgall tells a moving story of her turbulent coming-of-age in the shadow of two remarkable men who lived life as if they were characters in an opera. The daughter of a mercurial composer and the granddaughter of a legendary cantor, Deborah as a child longed to be entrusted with their precious music and carry it on herself. But it was impossible; she was a girl. A Joyful Noise recounts Deborah's search for a place within the family tradition and, finally, her triumphant discovery of a way to make the men who would exclude her — who were also the men she loved — listen to her voice. A Joyful Noise is a tender, heartbreaking, beautifully written chronicle of the power of memory, the survival of faith, and the pursuit of a grand musical heritage. \"A superbly written chronicle encompassing the grand themes of the power of memory and the survival of faith.\" — The Jewish Transcript; \"Weisgall has written a valuable book.\" — The New York Times Book Review; \"This is a lovely memoir of life in the acutely functional family of a fine and learned composer. Deborah Weisgall writes of a milieu of discourse immersed in and emerging from music, and in which love and knowledge are not at odds. . . . A Joyful Noise is that of her own particular music of remembering.\" — John Hollander; \"An absorbing memoir, with music in the background and foreground.\" — New York Jewish Week.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grove Atlantic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47007647105264,"sku":"9780802137302","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780802137302_p0.jpg?v=1769907294","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780802137302","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
