Debussy's Slippers by STEVE EXETER
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A re-imagining of the relationship between \Maurice Ravel and George Gershwin. I do not know the composers, or their stories, so I cannot comment on how realistic the portrayals are. Certainly, this book is full of excess, parties and two men who are opposites in how they approach their work, and yet strike up an unlikely friendship that unravels when Gershwin accidentally steals Debussy’s slippers.
The story was entertaining and while the characters were quirky and so not entirely relatable, I found them interesting enough to continue reading till the end.
