An exhilarating debut novel set under the dazzling lights of late 1950s Broadway, where a controversial new musical pushes the boundaries of love, legacy, and art.
Growing up in rural Wisconsin, Eleanor O'Hanlon always felt different. In love with musical theater from a young age, she memorized every show album she could get her hands on. So when she discovers an open call for one of her favorite productions, she leaves behind everything she knows to run off to New York City and audition. Raw and untrained, she catches the eye of famed composer Don Mannheim, who catapults her into the leading role of his new work, A Tender Thing, a provocative love story between a white woman and black man, one never before seen on a Broadway stage. As news of the production spreads, setting off an outpouring of protest that threatens the possibility of the show itself, Eleanor is forced to confront her own naive beliefs about the world.
Pulsing with the vitality and drive of 1950s New York, A Tender Thing immerses readers right into the heart of Broadway's Golden Age, a time in which the music soared and the world was on the brink of change.

Über den Autor
Emily Neuberger is an MFA graduate and grant recipient at Brooklyn College's fiction program, and previously worked as an editorial assistant at Viking Books. She has a music degree from NYU, where she studied musical theater and writing. A performer for fifteen years, she performed at Carnegie Hall in Stephen Schwartz's birthday celebration and sang for Stephen Sondheim at the Music Institute of Chicago. She lives in Brooklyn, New York. A Tender Thing is her debut novel.
Zusammenfassung
EARLY PRAISE FOR THE HARDCOVER: The enthusiasm for the hardcover publication of A Tender Thing is building, with strong trade reviews and impressive advance praise from bestselling authors including Beatriz Williams, Lara Prescott, Garrard Conley, and David Gillham.
YOUNG AND IMPRESSIVE DEBUT AUTHOR WITH A THEATER BACKGROUND: With its Broadway setting, A Tender Thing is the perfect marriage of Emily Neuberger's two worlds. She earned her MFA from Brooklyn College and has a degree in music from NYU, and grew up in musical theater, having been a performer for more than fifteen years and has sung at Carnegie Hall and the Music Institute of Chicago.
READING GROUP OPPORTUNITIES: This fascinating story captures a time in New York's history that will spark engrossing discussions about the nature of performance and artistic integrity, as well as the role of women and minorities in the theater world of the 1950s, perfect for book clubs.
RELATABLE AND TIMELY TOPIC: During the mid-century, Broadway was used as a literal stage for ideas of protest and change. Although set in the 1950s, the issues of race, gender, and sexuality that permeate the novel, as well as the importance of representation in the arts, are ones that resonate with modern readers.
IRRESISTIBLE FOR THEATER FANS: Though many of the characters are fictional creations, their inspirations are immediately recognizable to today's musical theater fans. At its core, A Tender Thing is a love letter to the theater community, rich in historical detail and poignancy.
GENRE EXCELS IN PAPERBACK: As seen with the paperback success of another homegrown Penguin title, The Dollhouse, and other historical fiction novels like The Swans of Fifth Avenue and The Chilbury Ladies' Choir, this category performs very well in the paperback format.
