From New York Times bestselling author Eliot Schrefer comes an exuberant YA historical coming-of-age novel about a rising star French pianist, navigating his way into high society as he explores his sexuality. Perfect for fans of Last Night at the Telegraph Club and The Gentlemanās Gide to Vice and Virtue.
They say LĆ©on Delafosse will be Franceās next great pianist. But despite his being the youngest student ever accepted into the prestigious Paris Conservatory, thereās no way an impoverished musician can make his way in 1890s Paris without an outside patron.
Young gossip columnist Marcel Proust takes LĆ©on under his wing, and the boys game their way through an extravagant new world.

But the closer he gets to becoming Franceās next great thing, the further he strays from his old country life he shared with his family and his best friend FĆ©lix . . . a boy he might love.
With each choice LĆ©on makes, he must navigate a fine line between two worldsāor risk losing them both.Ā
