'An inspiring true story of resilience, hope and courage' Christy Lefteri, bestselling author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo
In 1942, the Nazis come for a Jewish family living in Montparnasse, occupied Paris. In the chaos of their arrest, eleven-year-old Josie flees to the only person she trusts: her piano teacher, Andr e Levallois, secretly an operative in the French Resistance.
Andr e takes her in as a member of the family, spreading their rations and risking everything to keep her safe. But soon the authorities close in, and both Andr e and Josie are caught in a desperate race to stay alive.
Heather Morris, author of the international bestseller, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, returns with a masterful new novel that captures the astonishing bravery of French Resistance operatives, and one piano teacher who is willing to risk everything to save a young girl.
Epic in scope and inspired by real events and people, The Piano Teacher of Montparnasse is a gripping, heartbreaking and uplifting story of ordinary people in extraordinary times.
