This week, Ira spoke with award-winning writer and accomplished musician Marcia Peck, author of "Water Music:A Cape Cod Story." In this cello episode of “Ira’s Everything Bagel,” Marcia talks about starting to play the cello at age five; why classical music moves her; the great composers “get inside us”; why the book was set in a certain place and time; her coming-of-age story which follows eleven-going-on-twelve Lily as she navigates parental and familial conflict at the family’s summer retreat on Cape Cod in 1956; her technique for writing; why the title of the book was important to her; music as magic; and what she wanted to explore in the novel.
