The Children of Willesden Lane by Mona Golabek

The Children of Willesden Lane by Mona Golabek

Famed concert pianist Mona Golabek shares the inspirational true story of her mother's escape from pre-WWII Vienna to an orphanage in London - 243 Willesden Lane. "The music will give you strength...it will be your best friend in life." With these words - the last she would ever hear from her mother - ringing in her ears, young piano prodigy Lisa Jura boarded the Kindertransport and headed for safety. Amidst the dozens of Jewish refugees trying to make their way in war-torn London, Lisa forms indelible friendships, finds romance and, against all odds, wins a scholarship to study piano at the Royal Academy of Music. As she creates a new life for herself, she never lets go of the hope of one day reconnecting with her family. The Children Of Willesden Lane is a stunning testament to the power of music to lift the human spirit and to grant the soul endurance, patience and peace.
