A House in the Mountains: The Women Who Liberated Italy from Fascism by Caroline Moorehead

adventurous challenging emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

I used this book to help me write an essay that I ended up being very proud of. Learning about everything these women went through was heartbreaking but also inspiring at how they put others before themselves to fight against fascists and nazi occupation. Well worth reading.
