The Sound of Songs Across the Water is a rock 'n' roll novel that
does what a rock 'n' roll novel must-- capture the music, the
bristling energy and careening emotions of it, and make it loud
upon the page. Rob Yardumian writes like a really good band
sounds.--David W. Williams, author of The Long Gone Daddies
I'd expected to like the story in spite of its musical backdrop,
but the exact opposite turned out to be true; I found the most
resonant passages of the novel to be the descriptions of the music
that weaves throughout the story. For me, these were the parts that
really set this text apart from others...--SMU Sophomore Mary
Mikule
In this wonderful debut, Rob Yardumian tells an irresistible story
about the struggles of two old friends. In doing so he writes
brilliantly about music and sex, art and love, the power of money
and the lure of charisma.--Margot Livesey, author of Eva Moves the
Furniture and The Flight of Gemma Hardy
