A review by barbaraf
Eternal by Lisa Scottoline
4.0
The main character, Elisabetta, reminds me of Francie, one of my favorite characters, from 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn'. That was probably my favorite childhood novel, which I have been meaning to reread. Maybe that's part of the reason I enjoyed this book.
Needless to say, there is a lot of stuff going on in this story. From beginning to end, there is action, drama, tragedy, and romance. Lots of tragedy as expected...
There are some unlikely scenarios and dialogue, but the pace makes up for that. Most of the events that took place in this novel, as well as many of the characters, were real.
If you liked this book, I would also recommend 'Beneath a Scarlet Sky' by Mark Sullivan and 'Under the Light of the Italian Moon' by Jennifer Anton, which are also great WWII historical fiction novels set in Italy.
