The Piano Tuner

Daniel Mason's The Piano Tuner is a historical fiction set in British India and Burma. It was Mason's debut novel, and it was released in 2002 when he was 26 years old. The Piano Tuner inspired a 2004 opera of the same name (composed by Nigel Osborne to a libretto by Amanda Holden), and a film directed by Charlie Stratton is in the works. Mulberry Films LLC, Latitude Media, and BCDF will produce the film.

In 1886, a modest, middle-aged piano tuner called Edgar Drake receives a strange assignment from the British War Office: to travel to the deep forests of northeast Burma and repair a unique piano owned by an eccentric army physician who has proven inexplicably vital to imperial planning. The Piano Tuner draws readers into a world of alluring, vibrantly depicted characters and enmeshes them in an unbreakable spell of storytelling from the start.
