From award-winning author Siobhan Daiko comes an epic novel of
love, betrayal, and finding where you truly belong. 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 Lidia’s own ardent patriotic
activities threaten to tear them apart. Decades 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 life in Italy before and during the war,
Charlotte travels to Venice in search of her roots, There, she
learns not only the devastating truth about her grandmother’s
past, but also some surprising truths about herself. Perfect for
readers of Rhys Bowen, Fiona Valpy and Victoria Hislop. What real
readers are saying:‘…a beautiful story with a compelling
historical storyline that you won’t want to put down.’ Ann
Bennett, bestselling author of The Orphan House. ‘Siobhan Daiko
will tug at your heartstrings, and leave you desperate for more.’
The Coffee Pot Book Club. ‘One of my absolute favourite books and
a must read for those who love a great escape into historical
fiction.’ Goodreads Reviewer.
