Özet

Lottie Archer arrives in Rome excited to begin her new job as an archivist. When she discovers a valuable 15h-century painting, she is drawn to find out more about the woman who left it behind, Nina Lawrence.

Nina seems to have led a rewarding and useful life, restoring Italian gardens to their full glory following the destruction of World War Two. So why did no one attend her funeral in 1978?

In exploring Nina's past, Lottie unravels a tragic love story beset by the political turmoil of post-war Italy. And as she edges closer to understanding Nina, she begins to confront the losses in her own life.

Intrinsic, gentle, deceptive, romantic and beautifully written. The story gives a great insight into the beauty, style and magic of Rome along with the undercurrent weaving and deception that lurks in the background.

Beautiful

Loved Two Women in Rome. The narration was great and added to the story. The two time lines were well thought out and highly enjoyable. Rome was beautiful described and I felt as though I had been on a holiday which during these strange times is a treat to be treasured. Highly recommend.

A really good listen

I loved this story of expats living in Rome and brushing with Romans and Italians. It is very evocative.

The title is perfect

There were aspects of the story that drew me in to begin with; the depiction of Rome, the intrigue of Lottie’s new life and work in the archive. Then there is the unravelling of the mystery itself of Nina Lawrence. Unfortunately that’s where my intrigue ceased. Like other reviewers have previously commented there seemed to be a lot crammed in, the political landscape of Italy and Europe in the 1970’s, over loaded with the power of the church seemed over done at times. I normally relish historical fiction, however this just felt too much at times. It felt a slog to get the the finish, despite still wanting to know Lottie & Nina’s storylines come to a close. Areas that I really enjoyed were the ways in which Buchan described and immersed you in the streets of Rome then and in modern day, the Art & architecture. Less could’ve been so much more with this novel.
