5.0

Beautifully written book about a terrible time in history. 3 friends, Elisabetta, Marco, and Sandro, have grown up together and have a special love between them. As the story develops, Mussolini and fascism are taking over Italy, dividing families, uprooting Jews, and involving the country in war. Throughout it all, the love between the friends remains strong. Each boy professes their love for Elisabetta, but she initially wavers before making her choice. As the story goes on, her love develops, but the war and the Nazis have other plans.
I loved this story, I loved the friendship between the three, I loved their honesty and sacrifices for each other. This is a terrific and heartfelt novel.
