About this title

Synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of the American South between 1928 and 1934, four vibrant voices blend to tell a tale of prejudice, fear, and ultimately...love. The Bellmonts are the epitome of Atlanta society's rich and elite. Yet, behind their picture perfect façade are hidden secrets of violence and betrayal. After marrying into the Bellmont family, Nathaniel Fye, a world-renowned concert pianist, is nearly ruined by his wife's unrelenting ambition and unstable mind. When Lydia Tyler, a gifted protégé enters his life, he finds solace in their deepening friendship and musical collaboration, but at what cost?

Secrets also plague Nathaniel's brother-in-law, the artistic Whitmore Bellmont. For most of his life, he's loved the brilliant Jeselle Thorton, despite their drastic differences in both class and color of their skin. In a world that doesn't share their color-blindness, the forbidden love between them may cost them their lives.

These four lives intertwine on a collision course that may liberate them, that is, if circumstance doesn't first destroy them.

A searing family saga combined with an epic love story, "Duet for Three Hands" is the first book in a new historical series from bestselling author Tess Thompson.

From the Author:

Duet for Three Hands

What can I say about this book that conveys the journey from pen to publication? The idea and characters for Duet came to me in a flash, almost like from a divine source. However, it took probably a dozen rewrites to get it right. I was determined to get it right before I released it, so it sat on my desk for four years. Like a man I couldn't let go of, I kept coming back to it for one more rewrite. Finally, I had a version that I thought was ready for the world.

Everything I believe about the world is in this book. It's about how faith and love and courage will always lead you down the right path. It's about passing what you know on to the next generation. It's about family and art and fighting for what's right. It's about how light and love will always conquer darkness and hatred. Of all the books I've written, this is the one I'm proud to leave for my children.
