With Nazi Germany now occupying most of her beloved homeland, and the threat of imprisonment and deportation growing ever more certain, Antonina Mazin has but one hope to survive--to leave Venice and her beloved parents and hide in the countryside with a man she has only just met. Nico Gerardi was studying for the priesthood until circumstances forced him to leave the seminary to run his family's farm. A moral and just man, he could not stand by when the fascists and Nazis began taking innocent lives. Rather than risk a perilous escape across the mountains, Nina will pose as his new bride. And to keep her safe and protect secrets of his own, Nico and Nina must convince prying eyes they are happily married and in love. But farm life is not easy for a cultured city girl who dreams of becoming a doctor like her father, and Nico's provincial neighbors are wary of this soft and educated woman they do not know. Even worse, their distrust is shared by a local Nazi official with a vendetta against Nico. The more he learns of Nina, the more his suspicions grow--and with them his determination to exact revenge. As Nina and Nico come to know each other, their feelings deepen, transforming their relationship into much more than a charade. Yet both fear that every passing day brings them closer to being torn apart... 650 0 $a Jewish women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jews $z Italy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Italy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 651 0 $a Italy $x History $y German occupation, 1943-1945 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a War fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 11 945 $a lpt 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20230310013036.0 952 $l BZPC851 $d 20220216165055.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722064233.0 952 $l NVPB663 $d 20210615010814.0 952 $l SNPC104 $d 20210520141206.0 $m SNPC104 952 $l MOPB553 $d 20210512010426.0 952 $l XUPC157 $d 20210403010649.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20210202014411.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20210202012134.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20210130011549.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210107010118.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FF5FCD5850B511EB8917A64E2AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
