“Book Descriptions: This won't be a love story. Nobody is trying to tell you something about love. This will be a story about family.
Claudio and Mathilde Simone were once romantic bohemians, hopelessly enamored of each other. Now nestled in domesticity in New York, they run a struggling vinyl record store and parent three daughters as best as they can: Natasha, an overachieving prodigy; Lucy, a sensitive girl with a debilitating heart condition; and romantic, adopted Carly, who is quietly fixated on her true origins.
As the years put their tight-knit family bonds to the test, the Simones are forced to reckon with mental and physical illness, financial difficulty, and well-kept secrets that threaten to tear them apart. But through all of these ups and downs, they look to their favorite lyrics, to poetry, and to one another for strength.” DRIVE
