An old crumbling mill, by a winding river, nestled in the Tuscan mountains. An empty home that holds memories of homemade pasta and Nonna's stories by the fire, and later: the Nazi invasion, and a family torn apart by a heartbreaking betrayal. Anna is distraught when her beloved mother, Ines, passes away. She inherits a box of papers, handwritten in Italian and yellowed with age, and a tantalizing promise that the truth about what happened during the war lies within. The diaries lead Anna to the small village of Rofelle, where she slowly starts to heal as she explores sun-kissed olive groves, and pieces together her mother's past: memories of homemade pasta, Nonna's stories by the fire, and happy days spent herding sheep across Tuscan meadows cruelly interrupted when World War II erupted and the Nazis arrived. Her mother fleeing her home to join the Resistenza and risking everything to protect an injured British soldier who captured her heart. But Anna is no closer to learning the truth... What sent Ines running from her adored homeland? When she meets an elderly Italian gentleman living in a deserted hamlet, who flinches at her mother's name and refuses to speak English, Anna is sure he knows more about the devastating secret that tore apart her mother's family. But in this small Tuscan community, some wartime secrets were never meant to be uncovered..."-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20220803. 648 7 $a 1939-1945. 650 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 650 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Tuscany $z Tuscany $v Fiction. 650 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Underground movements $z Italy $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Underground movements, War. 651 7 $a Italy. 651 7 $a Italy $z Tuscany. 655 7 $a Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 655 7 $a Novels. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 655 7 $a Novels. 941 $a 2 952 $l MCPB423 $d 20230725140651.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20221101010140.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=802849A259AA11ED98ECE2DC3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
