The author tried to do too much and ended up doing too little. I understand she wanted to introduce us to the plight of the Italian people during WWII, but the character development was lacking. The only character I cared about was Dominica. I did not care about the modern storyline. I have loved every other book by this author. Disappointed. Almost DNF.
