A novel inspired by true events of 1943. Tasa Rosinski and five relatives escape their rural village in eastern Poland, escaping certain death to find refuge in a bunker beneath a barn built by their longtime employee.
A decade earlier, ten-year-old Tasa dreams of someday playing her violin like Paganini. To continue her schooling, she leaves her family for a nearby town, joining her older cousin Danik at a private Catholic academy, where her musical talent flourishes despite escalating political tension. But after the war breaks out and the eastern swath of Poland falls under Soviet control, Tasa’s relatives become Communist targets, her tender new relationship is imperiled, and the family’s secure world unravels.
From a peaceful village in eastern Poland to partitioned post-war Vienna, Tasa’s Song celebrates the enduring power of the human spirit.
