Este capricho a la francesa me ha parecido de lo más divertido: normalmente, es la chica de habla inglesa quien se pierde en los vericuetos de la ciudad de la luz. Esta vez no, es a la inversa. Una huérfana de 16 años del norte de Francia tiene una voz preciosa y pasión por el piano. En París, un productor americano decide lanzarla en Nueva York y se la lleva a vivir con su familia. Allí Maude tendrá que trabajar codo con codo con una estrella adolescente, Matt. Y no sólo descubrirá la ciudad y el amor, sino también secretos de su pasado. ¿Suena genial, no os parece? ¡Y lo mejor es que es gratis hasta el día 11!

Excerpt:
“Okay, I’m done.
Now hurry!” the makeup artist cried out. “You’re up in two minutes.
Don’t you dare
mess up your makeup again!”
Maude ran out,
keeping her hands away from her recently rouged cheeks, and Matt
hurried behind
her.
She stood right
behind the curtain and listened to the host’s cheerful voice, announcing
her.
“Now ladies and
gentlemen, we have a new artist with us tonight. She’s spent her last
six months in
New York working on her first album. Her first single has been released and is
a huge hit . .
.”
“Maude,” Matt
whispered, tugging her sleeve.
“Yes?” She
looked back at him, smiling.
“I just wanted
to tell you . . . to let you know that you can always count on me.”
“I know, Matt,”
Maude smiled gratefully.
“Her voice will
take your breath away, her music is amazing . . . ”
“No, I’m
serious. Our friendship has had its ups and downs, but I don’t want it to be
that
way anymore.”
Maude nodded.
“I don’t care if
you’re with Thomas Bradfield. As long as you’re happy, I’m happy.”
Maude paused,
puzzled. “What? Thomas Bradfield—”
“Give a round of
applause for Maude Laurent!” the host cried.
“That’s your
cue! Go!” Matt urged.
Maude
reluctantly turned away from Matt and hurried on stage.
The blaring
lights blinded her as she entered the stage and faced the cheering crowd.
She had to
restrain her impulse to shield her eyes and continued steadily towards the dark
Steinway.
She had played
on it earlier but then, she hadn’t felt nervous. Her hands hadn’t been
trembling, and
her voice hadn’t been shaky.
Maude sat on the
piano stool and looked towards the crowd.
They were all
there.
