It s the early 1950s, and Billie Holiday makes a dazzling entrance
into the Manhattan nightclub where young Eliza Quarles is dream-
ily preoccupied with her future husband. This is the only time Eliza
sees the great blues singer but she keeps Billie s haunting image in
her head for years to come.
In this intricately woven novel, Eliza wrestles with the conflict be-
tween her desire for independence and her family obligations, a
tension she tries to drown in the powerful strains of Billie s sad
songs. Through two decades, Eliza copes with death, divorce, for-
tunes won and lost, to emerge as a poetmable, finally, to express
and define herself.
