TRAVEL FROM WARTIME WALES TO SIXTIES SICILY IN THIS BREATHTAKING CROSS-GENERATIONAL SAGA ABOUT A DAUGHTER ROCKED BY HER FAMILY'S SECRET PAST.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A beautiful story with several twists and turns which had the capability to move me to tears.’ Sue M.
________________________________________________
Wales, 1943.
Sara Lewis should be heartbroken when her husbanddoesn’t return from war. But he was never the kind husband she hoped for.
Maybe this could be the new beginning she’s always wanted. She and her young son move from her husband’s farm to live with her sister.
Despite herself, she begins to notice handsome Carlo. An Italian prisoner of war in Wales, he has been volunteered to work in her brother-in-law’s builders’ yard. Longing looks soon turn into love letters and a connection neither of them can sever.
But fraternization between the prisoners and local women is strictly forbidden. As their love grows, so does the danger all around them . . .
Twenty-five years later, their daughter holds her father’s hand as he takes his last breath and whispers a name: Giulietta.
But who is Giulietta, and who are the young woman and baby in an old photograph?
The secrets of the past collide as the family are shaken to their very core, forced to revisit memories they’d rather forget to uncover the truth.
Perfect for fans of Fiona Valpy, Barbara Davis, Karen Swan, Amanda Weinburg or Anita Chapman.
