Jenna is up to chat about ‘Partita’ by Barbara Kingsolver, and the clashing of the main character’s individualist desire to actualise her gifts as a pianist against the communist beliefs of her love affair. Discovering a passionate, mature love, both exciting and mundane, it’s about who has access to the arts, and the role art should have in your life.
