In 1935, in sleepy Cannero on Lake Maggiore, Paola and her daughter
Eva - Little Spark - ply a discreet living embroidering for rich
tourists. Eva pines for the glamour of the Milan they abruptly
left. She dreams of escape - to Hollywood to become a make-up
artist, and from the inevitability of being married to a suitable
local boy. Instead she is obliged to help the padre; slathering
face paint on bodies from the lake. When an Englishman appears on
her slab a sole strange mourner lurks in the shadows. Eva turns for
help to her charismatic new acquaintance, the globetrotting Agatha
Christie-toting, puzzle-solving independent-spirited Amelia, and
finds herself launched on a perilous journey that begins with her
first trip across a lake she has hitherto feared and takes her into
the dark heart of Mussolini's brutal regime. Little Spark will find
that she is an extraordinary woman in extraordinary times.
