WINNER OF THE 2022 AMERICAN FICTION AWARD IN HISTORICAL FICTION.
A HISTORICALLY BOLD AND DRAMATICALLY LIVELY WAR TALE. - KIRKUS REVIEWS
GOLD MEDAL IN HISTORICAL FICTION - GLOBAL BOOK AWARD
A courageous, emotionally charged, fast paced, gripping historical fiction novel . . . A stirring testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of music.
It is the winter of 1942, and the world is at war. A few Jewish musicians attempt to flee the Nazi death grip, each desperately trying to navigate his own path to safety. With the courageous aid and kindness of strangers, they soon find themselves in Rome, where under the highly secret help of the Vatican, they are hidden in Bellafortuna, a small village in Sicily. The residents of Bellafortuna welcome them and care for them, and for a fleeting moment, the horrors the musicians are facing are forgotten while residing in the beautiful, idyllic landscape of Sicily.
But word soon reaches the small village that Italy has surrendered, now making Germany at war with Italy. War quickly comes to the village as the Germans storm into Sicily to repel the Allied advance. As Bellafortuna becomes front and center in the raging war, the villagers rise as one to try and protect and save the Jews hiding in their midst. Failure to keep them hidden will mean death to those under their protection . . . and perhaps even to the villagers themselves.
An intricately plotted and meticulously researched novel, Saving the Music demonstrates how, in the face of death and unspeakable horror, the strength of the human spirit of ordinary people can shine bright through the darkness.
