I have to count this as my favorite WW2 novel so far. While I wished some scenes were written differently, the author did beautifully at making me care about the characters.

Beautiful, lyrical, powerful, intriguing, heartbreaking, heartwarming, captivating. I could go on and on. Ms. Richman did an amazing job with this one, capturing the settings and the characters - outstanding job!

This was my first read by Alyson Richman and I am now a fan. So much so that I'll be looking to see if we can get her for book club! Looking forward to reading her other works.

I didn't know much about the Italian Resistance, so that was interesting. Liked the two parallel love stories.
