Women chasing their dreams of making music is the theme of The Singer Sisters by Sarah Seltzer. It's told in two timelines - sisters Judie and Sylvia rebel against the 'proper' upper middle class lifestyle of their parents in 1960s New York City, and in the 1990s Judie's daughter Emma wants to be her own person but is challenged to escape her mother's legacy and fame.
The plot also includes a charismatic male singer/songwriter, family secrets, and current events of each time period. I enjoyed this family drama while listening to it, but I won't remember it weeks or months from now. Many compare it to Daisy Jones and The Six, but for me it wasn't nearly as engaging.
The audiobook is narrated by Barrie Kreinik, Helen Laser, and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker, each voicing a primary character which aided in track their points of view. While lyrics for several songs are included in the prose, the audiobook doesn't include any music.
