As the citys gritty edges are being smoothed into something safer and shinier, two girls meet at a music magazine. Rosebrash and self-possessedis a staff writer. Charlottehesitant, bookish is an editor. First wary, then slowly admiring, they recognize in each other an insatiable and previously unmatched ambition. Soon theyre inseparable, falling into the kind of friendship that makes you better, makes every day an adventure, and makes you believe that you will be extraordinary. Together, Charlotte and Rose find love and lose it; they hit their strides and stumble; they make choices and live past them. But then the steady beats in their sisterhood fall out of sync. They have seen each other through so muchmarriage, motherhood, divorce, career glories and catastrophes, a million small but necessary choiceswhat will it mean to give up their dreaming together? That the friendship that once made them sing out shuts them down? And even if they can reconcile themselves to the lives theyre living, can they survive the ones they didnt? As smart and comic as it is gloriously exuberant, Carlene Bauers Girls They Write Songs About takes a timeless story and turns it into a pulsing, wrecking, clear-eyed tale of two women reckoning with the lives theyve chosen and the countless ways theyand all the women theyve knownhave made them who they are.
