She was given eternity. No one asked if she wanted it.
Born into grief and raised on the sound of a rescued piano, she found in music the one language that never betrayed her. Then, at eighteen, she lost her father, the last person tying her to faith or to hope. Into that emptiness came a visitor. Not god, not demon, but something with no name and no explanation, who left her with a gift she would spend centuries cursing: she would never die.
She built a life anyway. In a dive bar, playing for strangers to survive, she met a man who loved her without needing to understand her. She let herself believe, for a while, that she could be ordinary. A husband. A family. A place to belong.
But love does not stop time, and time always tells the truth eventually. Somewhere in that fragile happiness waits a question she cannot outrun: what happens to a woman who cannot age, married to a man who will, raising children who will grow old while she does not?
THE PIANO GIRL is a sweeping novel about love, loss, immortality, and the terrible cost of surviving everyone you have ever loved.
For readers of How to Stop Time, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, and Station Eleven.
