About this listen

A troubled concert pianist searches for a new inspiration among the hidden back hallways of Carnegie Hall in bestselling author Fiona Davis’s bold short story of artistic ambition in 1950s New York.

World-renowned pianist Gloria Banderas is at the height of her career when a curious ailment forces her to cancel a sold-out performance at Carnegie Hall. The same day, she befriends one of the many free-spirited artists inhabiting the warren of apartments above the theater. With her career and marriage at a standstill, Gloria moves into an empty studio and convalesces among the poets, photographers, and dancers who eke out a living with total dedication to their art. As a return to her old routine beckons, Gloria must decide which parts of her life are worth fighting for.

Fiona Davis’s A Wild Rose is part of A Point in Time, a transporting collection of stories about the pivotal moments, past and present, that change lives. Read or listen to each immersive story in a single sitting.

Fiona Davis/Carnegie Hall

A short novella that is part of Kindle unlimited’s A Point in Time series. I love Fiona Davis and have read or listened to all of her books. Since this one was so short, it lacked Fiona Davis’ wonderful ability to capture the details that make me feel as if I am living within the plot. the pianist’s emotions were still felt and the Carnegie building explored, just not as much as I would have liked.

Loved the history lesson in this great story! I did not see that ending coming though.
