"In 1939, just before the outbreak of World War II, a young piano tuner, Charlie Kilworth, faces two enigmatic questions: Who was his father? And, given the madness that consumed his mother, does he dare become a father himself?Drawing on his own memories, on the memories of those who knew and loved Lily Kilworth, and on the iconic contents of a wicker suitcase Lily took with her everywhere, Charlie pieces together the story of a vivid, mercurial woman whose madness was both a gift and a curse. A loving, sad and magical tale, The Piano Man's Daughter has a lingering melody that plays on long after the last page has been turned." (Book Cover)
