About this listen

Italy, 1943. In the hills outside Naples, the silver moon shines brightly on a whitewashed farmhouse. An urgent knock on the door breaks the silence: and in that moment, one young woman’s act of incredible bravery changes the course of the war.

For Carmela del Bosco, a farm girl in a remote Italian village, sheltering an English spy is the most dangerous thing she could do. If she’s caught by the fascists, it would be the end, especially for her beloved grandmother sleeping soundly upstairs. But taking in the pleading brown eyes of the man calling himself Sebastiano slumped at her door, and his terrible injuries inflicted by the Nazi occupiers, Carmela remembers how Nonna always taught her right from wrong. Risking everything, she hides him in a ruined tower on the edge of the farm.

Each day Carmela tends his wounds, and the passion that kindles between them is a light in the darkest time. Sebastiano has information that could end the war, and needs her help to send it. But tracking down fellow members of the resistenza in the mountains means risking her life and bringing danger to everyone she knows.

Carmela knows she must find the courage to do what’s right for her country. But if she leaves the farm, will she ever see her beloved nonna again? And will her sacrifice tear her away from the only man she’s ever loved, forever?

An absolutely stunning and heartbreaking historical novel about the impossible choices people are forced to make in wartime. Fans of The Nightingale, All the Light We Cannot See and Rhys Bowen will be captivated.

I wish I could give it 10 stars. It deserves it

Wow what a great fantastic story. I love this author and this ww2 genre is my all time favorite and I was never disappointed . Scared ?yes walked always several times? yes . Couldn’t take the suspense . Her well developed characters drew me in till they were real to me. I learned so much about ww2 Italy Naples and black shirt fascist and evil nazis. Vengeful cruel nazis and Italians betrayed my Italians. I learned so much about the hard farming life in bringing in the crops. This audible has it all Love hate betrayal idealism family. Waiting for more from this author

A very long waste of time

Much too long, I never really cared much about the characters and none of the story seemed to remarkable to me. I almost quit 3/4 of the way through.
