Nobody believed in her talent. But nothing could stop her. . .\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe had no pitch, no rhythm, and no tone. Still, Florence Foster Jenkins (Streep) became one of America's best-known sopranos. Born in 1868, Florence was a talented young pianist whose wealthy father refused to let her continue her musical studies in Europe. In retaliation, Florence eloped with Dr. Frank Jenkins, a man twice her age, and moved to New York. But when her father died and left her a large sum of money, Florence finally had a chance to pursue her one true passion: Singing. But first she would have to learn how to become a great singer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYears of lessons and a chance meeting with St. Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant), who would become her manager and common-law husband, would help launch Florence's career and entry into New York's prestigious classical musical societies, culminating in her giving a recital, at the age of seventy-six, at Carnegie Hall. This is story of a woman who was not afraid to recreate herself into the person she wished to become--and achieve her own version of the American Dream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Martin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250115957\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250115959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Nicholas Martin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980146508031,"sku":"9781250115959","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2bb2267c-9fdf-4a41-8825-5e29b1e9deb3.jpg?v=1683248609","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/florence-foster-jenkins-nicholas-martin-9781250115959","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
