Eternal by Lisa Scottoline

4.0

This was a little slow to start and it took me a while to get into, but it eventually was very rewarding and engrossing. Set in Italy, Eternal centers around 3 friends - Elisabetta, Marco, and Sandro. Elisabetta, an Italian Gentile is torn between her feelings for both Marco and Sandro. Marco finds himself wrapped up in the growing Fascist movement in Italy, following in his father's footsteps up the political ladder. Marco is cocky and confident in fascism and his role in the new government. Sandro, an Italian Jew, quickly begins to feel the crush of totalitarianism and anti-Semitism. The story follows these three young people as they grow and live through one of the most tumultuous times in history.
