Sitting down and talking to Marcia Peck I discover how she went from Cello Player to award winning writer.
A life which started by not learning the piano, which helped Marcia find the Cello, childhood memories of Cape Cod and a salt water pond as she watched her dad build their holiday home.
Ending on a high of Water Music and the great discovery of writing drafts to finally complete her book. Peck has written a moving and melodic triumph of imagination and story, a fine harmony of intimacies and passions.
What happens when a writer plays cello in a professional orchestra for her entire career? Her prose soars.
In Water Music, Marcia Peck traces one intricate, intimate melody through the symphonic complexity of a disintegrating family’s summer on Cape Cod.
Music and love are interchangeable. Here is a book worthy of reading aloud—and cherishing.
