They came to Sicily with nothing... except their music.
Italy, Winter 1942.
Fleeing Nazi persecution, a group of Jewish musicians is offered an extraordinary chance at survival: disappear into the remote Sicilian village of Bellafortuna.
There, ordinary villagers open their homes—and risk their lives—to protect strangers marked for death.
For a brief moment, the musicians are safe.
They play again.
They hope again.
They begin to believe they might survive.
Then the German troops arrive.
Now the people of Bellafortuna face an impossible choice: protect the refugees they have come to love—or save themselves.
And suddenly, hiding the musicians may cost them everything.
Inspired by true events, Saving the Music is a powerful World War II novel of courage, sacrifice, faith, and the extraordinary ability of music to keep hope alive in humanity's darkest hour.
