Description
Léon Delafosse is poised to become France's next great pianist, but his journey into high society comes with a steep price. As the youngest student accepted into the prestigious Paris Conservatory, he needs an outside patron to make ends meet. Enter Marcel Proust, a young gossip columnist who takes Léon under his wing and introduces him to an extravagant new world of wealth and privilege. When Count Robert de Montesquiou-Fézensac offers his patronage, Léon's dreams are made real - but at what cost? As he navigates the fine line between two worlds, Léon must confront the choices that will define him and risk losing everything he holds dear. A heartwarming and poignant coming-of-age story, set against the vibrant backdrop of 1890s Paris.
