The Piano Teacher of Montparnasse

Praise for The Tattooist of Auschwitz:

"A remarkable story of survival and how love triumphed in that lawless hell. A phenomenon" The Times

In 1942, the Nazis arrested a Jewish family living in Montparnasse, occupied Paris. In the chaos, the eleven-year-old daughter fled to the only person she trusted: her piano teacher, Andrée Levallois, secretly a French Resistance operative. Andrée took her in, risking everything. But the authorities were closing in, and soon Andrée and the girl were caught in a desperate race to stay alive. Andrée was denounced, arrested, tortured, and sent to the hell of Ravensbrück Women’s concentration camp. She fought for her life, determined to return and honour her promise to save the girl who had been entrusted to her care.

Epic in scope and based on astonishing true-life people and events, The Piano Teacher of Montparnasse is gripping, heartbreaking and uplifting.
