Four young musicians enter for a music competition that promises to be a milestone in their careers

Philip, a talented cellist, needs to compensate for his father’s failure to make the grade as a musician

Vicky has the advantage of inherited talent and influential parents, but resents the obligation to follow in their footsteps

Tod, an ambitious scholarship boy looking for the quickest way to the top, finds there is more to playing the violin than a brilliant technique

Jane, the only one not at a specialist music school, desperately needs a better teacher

Parents, teachers, boy and girlfriends provoke complications and rivalry, and when illness and violence intervene, the suspense grows.  Will any of them get to the final?

Jean Richardson uses the world of the young musician to mirror the tensions, conflicts and challenges that are an integral part of growing up

Her understanding and ability to convey the pressures and pleasures involved make for a totally absorbing story
