A grand piano crashes off a crane that’s lifting it into a block of council flats.
Stefan, piano restorer and illegal immigrant, has the impossible task of trying to rebuild it. His future depends on it. And – for better or worse – a misfit bunch of tenants decides to help him.
Adrienne Jansen's third novel is about immigrants, it’s about a ramshackle community thrown together, it’s about the kindness and violence that co-exist in council flats, it’s about music, and it’s about a piano, the real heart of it all.
'Jansen paints on a small canvas with skill and insight ... a warm unpretentious gem' - NZ Listener
