There are songs for the girls from when he was single, there's the one for the day he met his wife-to-be, there's one for the day his son was born. But when Julian's family falls apart, even music loses its hold on him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUntil one snowy night in Brooklyn, when his life's soundtrack--and life itself--start to play again. Julian stumbles into a bar and sees Cait O'Dwyer, a flame-haired Irish rock singer, performing with her band, and a strange and unlikely love affair is ignited. Over the next few months, Julian and Cait's passion plays out, though they never meet. What follows is a heartbreaking dark comedy, the tenderest of love stories, and a perfectly observed tale of the way we live now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArthur Phillips \u003c\/b\u003eis the internationally bestselling author of three \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003eNotable Books--\u003ci\u003ePrague, \u003c\/i\u003ethe winner of the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e\/Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction; \u003ci\u003eThe Song Is You; \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Tragedy of Arthur\u003c\/i\u003e--and \u003ci\u003eThe Egyptologist. \u003c\/i\u003eHe lives in New York.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Random House Trade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50845470458130,"sku":"9780812977912","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_076c2777-3b70-44dc-befe-6f2a3a72c47a.jpg?v=1737351743","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-song-is-you-9780812977912","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
