The Clarinetist of Paris

About The Clarinetist of Paris

Normandy, 1944.

Trapped in the darkness of a Nazi prison for five agonizing years, eighteen-year-old Julien has been branded a spy and condemned to die. But when a disguised French officer offers him a chance at escape, Julien seizes his last shot at freedom—only to find himself on the run in a war-torn France that no longer feels like home.

Meanwhile, sixteen-year-old Clara Duvall has spent years hiding behind the music of her mother’s beloved clarinet, the only piece of happiness she has left after her mother was killed by a sniper’s bullet. When a desperate fugitive appears at her door, she faces an impossible choice—turn him in and save herself or shelter him and risk everything.

As war rages outside, Julien and Clara form an unexpected bond, drawn together by grief, survival, and the fragile hope of a future beyond the war. But with a relentless Nazi officer closing in and a past neither of them can outrun, their time is running out. And when the truth about Julien’s imprisonment is finally revealed, Clara must decide how far she is willing to go for a boy she barely knows—before war tears them apart forever.
