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?
