THE PIANO: STORY OF A FRIENDSHIP
WRITTEN BY:
Paperback: 225/- Each
Imprint: Duckbill (Penguin)
A graphic novel which explores themes of war, loss, friendship and the power of music, The Piano is a stirring portrayal of the unpredictability of life. It is perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier and Mariko Tamaki! When describing the story, the editor Sayoni Basu said, “One of the interesting ideas is how objects are also witnesses to history, so that if one imaginatively recreates the possible places where the piano has travelled, a wide swathe of Indian and world history is encompassed within it.”
ABOUT THE BOOK
What I didn’t know was that just as I was searching for my friend, my friend was also searching for me. And that search had started a long time ago.’ This is the story of a friendship between a young girl and her piano. The piano was made many decades before the girl was born. And it travelled from Leipzig, Germany, through war-torn France and England to come to Calcutta during the independence struggle. Finally the girl and the piano found one another, until circumstances separated them . . . This is a story of love and loss, of unexpected bonds and loneliness, and above all, it is a celebration of the power of music.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Nandita is a comic-book artist and a musician. She loves to daydream, eat gummy bears, play music and draw. She likes to have conversations with animals and children (in that order) more than adults. She has had many great adventures in life, which she doesn’t like to disclose because somethings should just remain that way.
