Still, Florence Foster Jenkins (Streep) became one of America’s best-known sopranos. Born in 1868, Florence was a talented young pianist whose wealthy father refused to let her continue her musical studies in Europe. In retaliation, Florence eloped with Dr. Frank Jenkins, a man twice her age, and moved to New York. But when her father died and left her a large sum of money, Florence finally had a chance to pursue her one true passion: Singing. But first she would have to learn how to become a great singer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYears of lessons and a chance meeting with St. Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant), who would become her manager and common-law husband, would help launch Florence’s career and entry into New York’s prestigious classical musical societies, culminating in her giving a recital, at the age of seventy-six, at Carnegie Hall. This is story of a woman who was not afraid to recreate herself into the person she wished to become—and achieve her own version of the American Dream.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martins Press-3PL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47965132751088,"sku":"9781250115959","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781250115959_p0.jpg?v=1763702616","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781250115959","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
