'A fascinating and captivating story... so masterfully crafted that it feels as though you are watching every scene unfold on a movie screen.' NetGalley reviewer, 5 stars


Italy, 1943. Ambra and Nina have been friends since they were children, their bond fixed by a friendship pact made in the shadow of a shared tragedy. But when war comes to the small Italian village where they live, loyalties are tested, friendships stretched to breaking point.


For Nina, whose brother is part of a secret anti-fascist cell, the choice to fight is easy. For Ambra, who longs to escape her father's post office and covets the luxurious lifestyle of the Sansones, a prominent fascist family, things are not so black and white.


In a world where everyone is keeping secrets and where information is currency, the two friends must be careful who they trust. When childhood friend Nicolò, the Sansones' only son, asks one of them for help, the consequences could tear their friendship apart forever...


An unforgettable story, perfect for fans of Fiona Valpy, Soraya M. Lane, and Kate Quinn.
