by Siobhan Daiko (Author)
A heartfelt wartime story of love and betrayal, from bestseller Siobhan Daiko
1943
Lidia De Angelis has kept a low profile since Mussolini's laws wrenched her from her childhood sweetheart. But when the Germans occupy Venice, she must flee the city to save her life.
Lidia joins the partisans in the Venetian mountains, where she meets David, an English soldier fighting for the same cause. As she grows closer to him, harsh German reprisals and her own ardent patriotic activities threaten to tear them apart.
Years later...
While sorting through her grandmother's belongings after her death, Charlotte discovers a Jewish prayer book, unopened letters written in Italian, and a fading photograph of a group of young people in front of the Doge's Palace.
Intrigued by her grandmother's refusal to talk about her time in Italy, Charlotte travels to Venice in search of her roots. There, she learns not only the devastating truth about her grandmother's past, but also about her own...
Perfect for readers of Rhys Bowen, Fiona Valpy and Victoria Hislop.
