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, Andrée Levallois, secretly an operative in the French Resistance. Andrée 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 Andrée 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.

His story formed the basis of her first novel, The Tattooist of Auschwitz which was published in 2018 and its follow up Cilka’s Journey. Heather’s third novel, Three Sisters, concluded the trilogy. Heather’s books have sold over 19 million copies worldwide and have
been translated into more than 50 languages. The Tattooist of Auschwitz went on to become one of the 21st century’s bestselling books, and in 2024 a screen adaptation of the novel was released to wide acclaim.
