{"product_id":"a-joyful-noise-deborah-weisgall-9780802137302","title":"A Joyful Noise: Claiming the Songs of My Fathers","description":"In A Joyful Noise, Deborah Weisgall tells a moving story of her turbulent coming-of-age in the shadow of two remarkable men who lived life as if they were characters in an opera. The daughter of a mercurial composer and the granddaughter of a legendary cantor, Deborah as a child longed to be entrusted with their precious music and carry it on herself. But it was impossible; she was a girl. A Joyful Noise recounts Deborah's search for a place within the family tradition and, finally, her triumphant discovery of a way to make the men who would exclude her -- who were also the men she loved -- listen to her voice. A Joyful Noise is a tender, heartbreaking, beautifully written chronicle of the power of memory, the survival of faith, and the pursuit of a grand musical heritage. \"A superbly written chronicle encompassing the grand themes of the power of memory and the survival of faith.\" -- The Jewish Transcript; \"Weisgall has written a valuable book.\" -- The New York Times Book Review; \"This is a lovely memoir of life in the acutely functional family of a fine and learned composer. Deborah Weisgall writes of a milieu of discourse immersed in and emerging from music, and in which love and knowledge are not at odds. . . . A Joyful Noise is that of her own particular music of remembering.\" -- John Hollander; \"An absorbing memoir, with music in the background and foreground.\" -- New York Jewish Week.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah Weisgall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080213730X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802137302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.28h x 5.50w x 0.76d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/04\/2001 pg. 32","brand":"Deborah Weisgall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120237867263,"sku":"9780802137302","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f2472fd-544b-4069-820d-289d670ceab3.jpg?v=1687413242","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-joyful-noise-deborah-weisgall-9780802137302","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
