Tell Me Who I Am

Description
Jude Lewis is about to be rediscovered, in more ways than one.
Life for this self-described ‘former musician’ has been rather disappointing. Achieving success as a young man with his debut album, the intervening years have not been kind. Stage fright and self-loathing render him unable to perform and gradually, he disappears. Occasionally mentioned in the odd music magazine or on Reddit as something of a relic, and contacted only by the most tenacious of fans, he is – in the eyes of the world, at least – lost.
But what happens to ‘lost’ musicians?
Leaving London at the suggestion of his not-quite-girlfriend Anna, he relocates to a small village in West Wales. A stone’s throw from Carmarthen (the town in which he was raised by his grandmother Joyce) the village offers something new, albeit in the constant shadow of a Dead Poet. Here, Jude finds himself warmly embraced by the local community, who still remember his early records fondly. A chance play of an old song on an American primetime show offers a lifeline, a chance to make peace with painful things.
But a shocking revelation threatens to undo it all. When things begin to fall apart, Jude must decide what is important to him.
The release coincides with Georgia Ruth’s latest album ‘Cool Head’.
The album and the novel are bound together by one song: the haunting ‘Tell Me Who I Am’, written by the novel’s main character, Jude, and sung by Georgia on the album. This is Georgia’s fourth album, and her debut novel.
