«Une chanson pour Ada» is the historical and romantic novel by Barbara Mutch, published by Pocket in paperback (512 pages, in French).
Ada is born in South Africa in the 1930s, the illegitimate daughter of a Black domestic worker. Orphaned, she grows up under the care of Mrs Harrington, who teaches her to play the piano. The unwanted attentions of the master of the house drive her from that refuge; at eighteen, she witnesses the extension of apartheid. Music and that friendship are her only allies.
Original title: Karoo Plainsong. Translation by Françoise du Sorbier. Original publication in 2010; this French edition is from 2015.
