The Piano Man's Daughter is the tale of people who dream in songs
-- two Irish immigrant families facing a new and uncertain future
in turn-of-the-century Toronto. Narrated by Charlie Kilworth, whose
birth is an echo of his mother's own illegitimate beginnings, The
Piano Man's Daughter is the lyrical, multi-layered tale of
Charlie's mother, Lily, his grandmother Ede, and their family. Lily
is a woman pursued by her own demons, "making off with the matches
just when the fire's caught hold," a beautiful, mad genius, first
introduced as she sings in her mother's belly. Conceived when her
mother falls in love with a musician, Lily is born in a field of
flowers and grows into an odd, lonely child. As she matures, she
becomes more and more alienated from real life, but this doesn't
keep her from having a brief, mysterious affair while she's a
student in wartime England. The result is Charlie, who has perfect
pitch and a high tolerance for his mother's eccentricities. As Lily
sinks deeper into madness, her once gentle nature is affected by
the dark demons that inhabit her troubled mind. It is only after
her death that Charlie, always Lily's protector and caretaker, is
able to tell her story through loving but honest eyes, finding
catharsis and hope in the painful but revealing process.
