FacebooktwitterFacebooktwitter
The image shows the audiobook cover for Nicole Conn's Descending Thirds. Three people are depicted against a warm, elegant backdrop that looks like a grand music room or concert hall with pillars and soft lighting. On the left is a man with short, styled blonde hair wearing a white collared shirt. In the center is a woman with long, wavy reddish-brown hair tied back, wearing a sleeveless gold or champagne-colored dress; she is seated at a piano. On the right is a man with long, dark curly hair dressed in a black tuxedo with a white ruffled shirt and bow tie. A metronome is visible on the far left, and a quill pen rests on the piano in the foreground. Musical notes and staff lines drift across the upper portion of the image behind the cursive title. At the bottom, text indicates the book is narrated by Mary Jane Wells, features original music by Sally Bishop Melbourne, and is a multi-award general fiction winner.

Descending Thirds is a wonderfully written, perfectly performed, and captivating love story that spans several decades. Written by award-winning filmmaker and novelist Nicole Conn, the novel brings together romance, ambition, rivalry, and the world of classical music in a story that remains engaging from beginning to end.

This is a character-driven drama that explores the connections between love, passion, and the pursuit of excellence. Set against the backdrop of the classical music world, the story follows its characters through the highs and lows of life, allowing relationships, personal choices, and artistic ambition to shape their destiny. 

Nicole Conn‘s writing feels natural and easy to follow, with a steady flow that allows both the characters and their relationships to develop in a natural way over time. Her experience as an award-winning storyteller is noticeable throughout the entire story, creating a narrative that feels emotional, personal, and authentic.

The audiobook version of Descending Thirds is narrated by award-winning actor and voiceover artist Mary Jane Wells, who does a fantastic job bringing both the characters and the story to life. Her performance captures the emotional moments with confidence and warmth while making it easy for us listeners to become invested in the people at the heart of it all. 

The production itself also deserves special mention as beautiful classical music and original compositions are sprinkled throughout the audiobook, adding atmosphere and helping to strengthen the connection between the listener and the characters in the story. Combined with the flawless narration, the end result is a highly entertaining, atmospheric, and engaging audio production.

If you are a fan of deeply moving love stories and classical music, then Descending Thirds is remarkable and well worth your time!
