Their mutual love of music draws them together, and--against all odds and their better judgment--they marry. They vow to raise their children beyond time, beyond identity, steeped only in song. Jonah, Joseph, and Ruth grow up, however, during the civil rights era, coming of age in the violent 1960s, and living out adulthood in the racially retrenched late century. Jonah, the eldest, \"whose voice could make heads of state repent,\" follows a life in his parents' beloved classical music. Ruth, the youngest, devotes herself to community activism and repudiates the white culture her brother represents. Joseph, the middle child and the narrator of this generation-bridging tale, struggles to find himself and remain connected to them both. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Richard Powers's \u003ci\u003eThe Time of Our Singing\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of self-invention, allegiance, race, cultural ownership, the compromised power of music, and the tangled loops of time that rewrite all belonging.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Powers \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller \u003ci\u003eBewilderment;\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Overstory\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction; and \u003ci\u003eThe Echo Maker\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the National Book Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize; among many other novels.
