ONE WAR. TWO WOMEN. WILL THEY BE ABLE TO SAVE THE ONES THEY LOVE? A
sweeping new novel from the number one Sunday Times bestselling
author of The Tea Planter's Wife In 1943, Contessa Sofia de'
Corsi's peaceful Tuscan villa among the olive groves is upturned by
the sudden arrival of German soldiers. Desperate to fight back, she
agrees to shelter a wounded British radio engineer in her home,
keeping him hidden from her husband Lorenzo - knowing that she is
putting all of their lives at risk. When Maxine, an
Italian-American working for the resistance, arrives on Sofia's
doorstep, the pair forge an uneasy alliance. Feisty, independent
Maxine promised herself never to fall in love. But when she meets a
handsome partisan named Marco, she realizes it's a promise she
can't keep... Before long, the two women find themselves entangled
in a dangerous game with the Nazis. Will they be discovered? And
will they both be able to save the ones they love? 'Dinah Jefferies
has a remarkable gift for conjuring up another time and place with
lush descriptions, full of power and intensity' Kate Furnivall 'A
stunning story of love and loyalty in wartime' Rachel Hore
'Beautiful writing, wonderful characters, gripping story, and such
a gorgeously evoked Tuscan setting - how I loved this! Such a
perfect, immersive summer read!' Jenny Ashcroft 'A lush,
fast-moving, gripping story that will keep you guessing till the
last pages. A perfect summer read' Gill Paul 'It's so rich &
the historical details so transporting. Reading this novel is like
being swept into a wonderful movie' Eve Chase
