The Last Protegee: A Memoir of Uncertain Verisimilitude

Dreams of a career as a classical pianist erode and wither, destroyed through a relationship with the famous and forceful Antonia Brico, renowned pianist and the first woman to conduct the New York Philharmonic.

Told almost as a post-modern detective story, through a mosaic of fact and imagination, The Last Protegee reveals the extraordinary power and emotional depth of Dr. Brico's influence on half a century of Nancy Deed Resler's life."
