Epic in scope and based on astonishing true-life people and events, Heather Morris's new book is a novel of breathtaking beauty - gripping, heartbreaking and uplifting.

In 1942, the Nazis came for a Jewish family living in Montparnasse, occupied Paris. In the chaos of their arrest, the eleven-year-old daughter fled to the only person she trusted: her piano teacher…

The author of the international bestseller, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, returns with a masterful new novel that captures the astonishing bravery of ordinary people in extraordinary times.

Inspired by real events and people, The Piano Teacher of Montparnasse tells the story of piano teacher and French Resistance operative, Andrée Levallois, and the young girl she risks everything for.

With the authorities closing in, Andrée and the girl are caught in a desperate race to stay alive. Soon, they are separated, and so starts Andrée's fight for survival. She is determined to return and honour her promise to save the girl who has been entrusted to her care.

‘A remarkable story of survival and how love triumphed in that lawless hell. A phenomenon' The Times on The Tattooist of Auschwitz

"The Piano Teacher of Montparnasse is an inspiring true story of resilience, hope, and courage." --Christy Lefteri, internationally bestselling author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo

"I found myself holding my breath until the very last pages, where I could no longer hold back my tears." --Marc Levy, internationally bestselling author of If Only It Were True

Her most recent historical novel, Sisters Under the Rising Sun, is based on the experiences of women held in Japanese POW camps during World War II.

Heather's books have sold over 19 million copies worldwide and been translated into over 50 languages. The Tattooist of Auschwitz, one of the 21st century's bestselling books, was made into an acclaimed miniseries in 2024.
