COVER ILLUSTRATION: Leighton, Lord Frederick. "Flaming June." 1895. courtesy of Museo de Arte, Ponce, Puerto Rico/Bridgeman Art Library, London/Art Resource, NY. Museo do Arte, Ponce, Puerto Rico, USA. SYNOPSIS: 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. Timothy Findley is one of Canada's best-loved and most-respected writers. His most recent fictional works are Dust to Dust, a collection of short stories, and You Went Away, his first novella. Findley's novels have garnered many prestigious awards: Headhunter received the 1994 City of Toronto Book Award, The Wars won a Governor General's Award for Fiction, and The Telling of Lies was the winner of the Edgar Award. His other novels, The Last of the Crazy People, The Butterfly Plague, Famous Last Words and Not Wanted on the Voyage, have been tremendously popular with both readers and critics, as have two other collections of short fiction, Dinner Along the Amazon and Stones, the latter the winner of the Trillium Award. Findley is also noted for his dramatic works and non-fiction. Can You See Me Yet? was his first play to be staged, and The Stillborn Lover won a Chalmers Award. His 1991 bestseller, Inside Memory: Pages from a Writer's Workbook, won the Canadian Authors Association Literary Award for Non-Fiction. In 1996, France honoured him with its highest award for artistic achievement, making him a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters. Size: 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Seller Inventory # 002974
