'An utterly original and brilliant story' Reese Witherspoon
Longlisted for the 2023 Joyce Carol Oates Prize Ruth, Esther and
Chloe have been singing in harmony since before they could speak.
Together they are The Salvations. Driven to success by their
formidably ambitious mother, Vivian, they’re soon the hottest
jazz band in San Francisco. When the girls receive a
once-in-a-lifetime offer from a renowned talent manager, Vivian
knows this is the big break she has been praying for. She can see a
different future for her girls, one that is a far cry from her
childhood in racially segregated Louisiana. But somewhere between
the grind of endless rehearsals on the rooftop and the glamour of
weekly gigs at the Champagne Supper Club, the girls grow up and
start to imagine a life beyond their mother's reach. As Vivian’s
hold on her family begins to weaken, she must confront changes in
The Salvations, in the San Francisco neighbourhood she has made her
home, and even in her own family.
