‘Riveting, taking in prejudice as well as sacrifice. There are 4.30am starts, lost instruments, fractured wrists, all captured with vivid flourishes. A paean to camaraderie.’
Observer
Seven brothers and sisters. All of them classically trained musicians. One was Young Musician of the Year and performed for the royal family. The eldest has released her first album, showcasing the works of Clara Schumann. These siblings don’t come from the rarefied environment of elite music schools, but from a state comprehensive in Nottingham. How did they do it?
Their mother, Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason, opens up about what it takes to raise a musical family in a Britain divided by class and race. What comes out is a beautiful and heartrending memoir of the power of determination, camaraderie, and a lot of hard work.
The Kanneh-Masons are a remarkable family. But what truly sparkles in this eloquent memoir is the joyous affirmation that children are a gift and we must do all we can to nurture them.
This is a story of triumph over adversity, of a family that refused to be defined by their circumstances and instead chose to create their own destiny. It is a testament to the power of music, and the incredible impact that it can have on our lives.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves music, or anyone who has ever dreamed of achieving their dreams. It is a reminder that anything is possible if you are willing to work hard and never give up.
