Every day people disappear, never to be seen again. This tragic reality couldnโt be further from Almaโs previous life. An esteemed violinist, her performances left her audiences spellbound. But when the Nazis descend on Europe, none of that can save herโฆ When the head of the womenโs camp appoints Alma as the conductor of the orchestra, performing for prisoners trudging to work as well as the highest-ranking Nazis, Alma refuses: โthey can kill me but they wonโt make me play โ. Yet she soon realizes the power this position offers: she can provide starving girls with extra rations and save many from the clutches of death. This is how Alma meets Miklos , a talented pianist. Surrounded by despair, they find happiness in joint rehearsals, secret notes, and concerts they give side by sideโโall the while praying that this will one day end. But in Auschwitz, the very air is tainted with loss, and tragedy is the only certaintyโฆ In such a hopeless place, can their love survive? This devastatingly heartbreaking yet beautifully hopeful tale proves that even in the darkest of days, love can prevailโโand give you something to live for. Fans of The Choice**,** The Tattooist of Auschwitzand The Orphan Trainwill lose their hearts to this magnificent tale.
