Özet

From New York Times best-selling author Rhys Bowen comes a haunting novel about a woman who braves her father's hidden past to discover his secrets....

In 1944, British bomber pilot Hugo Langley parachuted from his stricken plane into the verdant fields of German-occupied Tuscany. Badly wounded, he found refuge in a ruined monastery and in the arms of Sofia Bartoli. But the love that kindled between them was shaken by an irreversible betrayal.

Nearly 30 years later, Hugo's estranged daughter, Joanna, has returned home to the English countryside to arrange her father's funeral. Among his personal effects is an unopened letter addressed to Sofia. In it is a startling revelation.

Still dealing with the emotional wounds of her own personal trauma, Joanna embarks on a healing journey to Tuscany to understand her father's history - and maybe come to understand herself as well. Joanna soon discovers that some would prefer the past be left undisturbed, but she has come too far to let go of her father's secrets now....

Jonathan Keeble has a lovely voice, until he tries to speak as a female. Then he sounds like Mrs Doubtfire from the movie of the same name. Consequently I couldn’t become invested in those characters. Other than that it was a typical Rhys Bowen novel.

Good but..

This murder mystery flies back between a father's memory and a daughter's real time, although they seem to the in well and you don't get confused. It is lovely the way the to love stories between her father and his mother are taken up again by their children. Read brilliantly by Mary Sobey and Jonathan Keeble.

I enjoyed the mystery, the clues and the eventual revelations. Rhys Bowen has a smooth writing style that is tinged with optimism.
The background, the setting of a WW2 and a modern Italy in rural Tuscany, is interesting, especially if you have a little WW2 Italian campaign knowledge. A very intense and brutal war largely overlooked by Hollywood.

Very enjoyable

I have enjoyed everything by this author but this book stood out as being one of the best. The story had me hooked from the earliest chapters and despite switching from one period of time and one set of characters to another, it was easy to follow and believable.

The narration was good and the male narrator was exceptional. He managed to bring the characters to life almost effortlessly and it was a joy to listen to. I’m sure I will return to this book again and again.

I didn’t want it to end
