In this haunting tale from the bestselling author of The
Storyteller of Casablanca, Beatrice kept a wartime secret to
protect the innocent. Now, could telling it set her free? Tuscany,
1943. Stranded in war-ravaged Italy, Beatrice’s dream of an
escapist year teaching English is shattered. Granted shelter at the
Villa delle Colombe, she seeks refuge in Francesca and Edoardo’s
beautiful walled garden, hidden from the outside world, with an
elaborate cypress maze at its heart. But Beatrice is not the only
one seeking an escape here. Francesca has brought children to the
safety of the house, as well as other adults, all of them seeking
sanctuary on the estate with its mysterious maze. As the war closes
in, the residents are forced to witness—and do—unthinkable
things… 2015. Tess arrives at the villa raw from the agonising
loss of her husband. Beatrice, now custodian, guides her to the
solace of its gardens, where Tess begins to heal. But all hope of
peace is shattered by the arrival of Marco, the estate’s absent
owner, who wants nothing more than to hand it over to developers.
Distraught, Beatrice realises she must finally reveal the villa’s
painful past if she wants to save it. As the extraordinary story
unfolds, Tess realises that Villa delle Colombe is not just a
refuge, but a beacon of hope in the darkest of times. Can she
convince Marco to give it a new lease of life—and find a way back
to happiness herself?
