Kurt Palka
The suspenseful, emotionally resonant, and utterly compelling story of Helene Giroux, an enigmatic French woman who arrives alone in the small Canadian town of St. Homais in the 1930s, seeking sanctuary. Her past, which is revealed through flashbacks, includes the early loss of her soldier husband, finding a new life after war, desperate choices, and journeys to places like Indochina in search of ancient treasures. While in St. Homais, she discovers an old Molnar piano in the local church, a brand her family had manufactured. As she settles into a simple life playing for the church choir, her past and present suddenly converge when the town policeman confronts her, forcing her to face an episode she had thought was left behind forever.
