1943. Wartime Italy. Casa Maria sits at the heart of the small
Umbrian town of Amatino, famous for its food, wine and the di Luca
and Capaldi families who run it. But now Italy is consumed by war
and everything must change. For talented cook Sophia di Luca, the
discovery her father has left the trattoria not to her, but to the
volatile and charismatic Giorgio Capaldi, is a bitter
disappointment. Still grieving the sudden death of his wife, and in
no mood to compromise, Giorgio’s return to Amatino threatens
everything Sophia has struggled to achieve. As Mussolini falls and
the Germans march in, the two families find themselves in conflict
not only with a terrifying new enemy, but also with each other.
Annabelle Thorpe’s gripping novel does for wartime Italy what
Victoria Hislop does for Greece. 'A joyous read, which really spoke
to me about the indomitability of the human spirit. A wonderful
book.' Elizabeth Enfield, author of Ivy and Abe Praise for
Annabelle Thorpe: 'Unputdownable!' Claire Dyer, author of The Last
Day 'A pacy, engaging tale of human weakness and of passion so
overwhelming it can make fools of us all' Daily Express
