Description

A story about a piano and its most prodigious player--and how they both survived one of the darkest periods in history.

When her father died, singer-songwriter Roxanne de Bastion inherited a piano she knew had been in her family for over a hundred years. But it is only when she finds a cassette recording of her grandfather, Stephen, playing one of his compositions, that the true and almost unbelievable history of the piano, this man, and her family begins to unravel.

Stephen was a man who enjoyed great fame, a man who suffered the horrors of concentration camps in WWII, a man who ultimately survives--along with his piano. By piecing together his cassette recordings, unpublished memoirs, letters, and documents, Roxanne sings out her grandfather's story of music and hope, lost and found, and explores the power of what can echo down through generations.

Editorial Reviews

"Roxanne de Bastion's poignant first book nimbly reconstructs the life of her Jewish paternal grandfather, Stephen de Bastion. His love of music serves as a powerful undercurrent throughout the narrative. In an atmospheric touch, de Bastion utilizes the family's piano, which miraculously survived the Holocaust, as a vector for Stephen's emotional experience."--Publishers Weekly
