From Jamie Ford, the New York Times best-selling author of the much loved Hotel on the Place of Bitter and Nice, comes a much-anticipated second book. Set against the setting of Depression-era Seattle, Tunes of Willow Frost is a robust tale of two souls - a son with dreams for his future and a female escaping her haunted past - both seeking love, desire, and forgiveness. Twelve-year-old William Eng, a Chinese language American son, has resided at Seattle's Sacred Heart Orphanage ever since his mother's listless body was carried away using their company small apartment five years back. On his birthday - or rather, the day the nuns designate as his birthday - William and the other orphans are taken up to the historical Moore Theatre, where William glimpses an actress on the silver screen who goes by the name of Willow Frost. Struck by her features, William is convinced that the movie star is his mom, Liu Song. Decided to find Willow and verify that his mom is still alive, William escapes from Sacred Heart with his good friend Charlotte. The match navigate the roadways of Seattle, where they need to not only survive but confront the mysteries of William's former and his connection to the exotic film star. The story of Willow Frost, however, is far more complicated than the Hollywood illusion William recognizes onscreen. Shifting between the Great Melancholy and the 1920s, Tunes of Willow Frost requires listeners on an emotional quest of breakthrough. Jamie Ford's sweeping book will resonate with whoever has ever longed for the comforts of family and a spot to call home.
