A sad Chopin waltz: A heartbreaking short story of love and war, loss and memory

Written by Marina Koulouri

Narrated by Marina Koulouri and Jason Grangier

What is a sensitive classical pianist doing in a sleazy WW2 Parisian cabaret? Why is he keeping his Chopin sheet music inside the piano bench every night? Which two people from his past have scarred his soul forever?

Winter Pale, a young beautiful foreigner, a girl with a painful past of her own, recounts his story and, with it, delves deep into her own soul.

This short story, from the backstage of the award winning historical novel Winter Pale, and Book 2 in the series, sheds light on the character of Louis, the exceptional, poetic, and visionary pianist of 'The Golden Doe' club, and is a perfect standalone as well as an insightful complementary read to the main story of Winter Pale.

A deeply emotional, thought-provoking, and intriguing character revelation for lovers of The War in our Hearts, Promise at Dawn, and At Swim, Two Boys.
