The Tin Flute is a novel by Canadian author Gabrielle Roy, published in 1945. It tells the story of a working-class family in Montreal during the Great Depression. The novel focuses on the lives of the members of the Lacasse family, their struggles to survive, and their dreams for a better future. 

The main characters in the novel are Florentine, the mother; Azarius, the father; their children, Rose-Anna, Florentine, Jean-Marie, and Emmanuel; and their neighbours, including the Gagnon family, Mr. and Mrs. Desrochers, and others. Each of these characters has their own unique personality, strengths, and weaknesses. However, it is Rose-Anna, the eldest daughter, who emerges as the most arresting character in the novel.
