Summary

Lidia De Angelis ha tenuto un profilo basso da quando le leggi razziali di Mussolini l’hanno strappata dal suo primo amore. Ma quando i tedeschi occupano Venezia nel 1943, è costretta a scappare dalla città per salvare la propria vita.

Lidia si unisce ai partigiani sulle montagne del Veneto, dove incontra David, un soldato inglese che combatte per la stessa causa. Man mano che si affeziona a lui, le dure rappresaglie tedesche e le appassionate attività patriottiche di Lidia minacciano di separarli.

Decenni dopo, a Londra, mentre passa in rassegna gli effetti personali della nonna dopo la sua morte, Charlotte scopre un libro di preghiere ebraico, lettere non aperte scritte in italiano e una fotografia sbiadita che ritrae un gruppo di giovani davanti al Palazzo Ducale.

Incuriosita dal rifiuto della nonna di parlare della sua vita in Italia prima e durante la guerra, Charlotte si reca a Venezia alla ricerca delle sue radici. Lì, apprende non solo la devastante verità sul passato di sua nonna, ma anche alcune verità sorprendenti su se stessa.

Per fans di Dinah Jefferies, Rosamunde Pilcher e Fiona Valpy

Exceptional!

How amazing to be transported into two eras, two different time and into so many amazing, remarkable and unbelievable moments: second world War and 21st century. Back and forth with ease, transporting the listener into delicate dimensions and episodes.

I truly enjoyed the narration, Lisa Genovese is 'bravissima!' Able to bring the story to life with her articulated voice, tones and passion. Bringing the listener to tears and joy, fully submerged into the story.
