The Secret Pianist is a novel from bestselling author Andie Newton.

Sisters. Traitors. Spies.

When a British RAF Whitley plane comes under fire over the French coast and is forced to drop their cargo, a spy messenger pigeon finds its way into unlikely hands…

The occupation has taken much from the Cotillard sisters, and as the Germans increase their forces in the seaside town of Boulogne-sur-Mer, Gabriella, Martine and Simone can’t escape the feeling that the walls are closing in.

Yet, just as they should be trying to stay under the radar, Martine’s discovery of a British messenger pigeon leads them down a new and dangerous path. Gaby would do anything to protect her sisters but when the pianist is forced to teach the step-daughter of a German Commandant, and the town accuses the Cotillards of becoming ‘Bad French’ and in allegiance with the enemy, she realizes they have to take the opportunity to fight back that has been handed to them.

Now, as the sisters’ secrets wing their way to an unknown contact in London, Gaby, Martine and Simone have to wonder – have they opened a lifeline, or sealed their fate?

The Secret Pianist is a fascinating read. You can tell that Andie has thoroughly researched the period and the family the story is based on, as the descriptions are so vivid that you feel you are there, watching the story unfold.

The dual narrative really engages you as a reader and keeps you turning the pages. It’s a fast-paced read that allows each character to shine in their own right, and each brings something unique to the overall story.

It’s a book that fans of historical fiction will enjoy!
