FT Best Summer Books of 2024

21st June 2024 | Books, Reviews | 1 comment

My book on women pianists has been chosen by the Financial Times as one of their Best Summer Books of 2024. Music critic Richard Fairman made it one of his choices.

It’s very gratifying to find the book being noticed by a wider circle – I suppose because of the topicality of its subject matter. Anyway, I am enjoying the experience!

    This is brilliant, Sue. It’s very satisfying to see the book being so well – and widely – received.
