About this listen

A promise keeps them apart until WWII threatens to destroy their love forever.

Fonzaso, Italy, between two wars.

Nina Argenta doesn’t want the traditional life of a rural Italian woman. The daughter of a strong-willed midwife, she is determined to define her own destiny. But when her brother emigrates to America, she promises her mother to never leave. When childhood friend Pietro Pante briefly returns to their mountain town, passion between them ignites while Mussolini forces political tensions to rise.

Just as their romance deepens, Pietro must leave again for work in the coal mines of America. Nina is torn between joining him and her commitment to Italy and her mother. As Mussolini’s Fascists throw the country into chaos and Hitler’s Nazis terrorize their town, each day becomes a struggle to survive greater atrocities. A future with Pietro seems impossible when they lose contact and Nina’s dreams of a life together are threatened by Nazi occupation and an enemy she must face alone.

Bravo!

An epic story spanning before and after WWII. Written from the perspective of many women with the overall theme of love, strength, faith as well as relationships between a mother and daughter(s).

Pleasant book

The story possibly could have gone more in depth, more vividly into some local cultures. At first I found the reader’s accent to be annoyingly wrong, but I eventually got used to it. I’m not sure about the boat leaving from Genoa, but many of the other boats came across with mostly people from the same region & country, rather than from many other countries.

Under the light

When you want the book to continue because you grew to love the characters. Nina and her family were easily loved, and I felt like I knew them. What a hard life they had during the war, but held onto their faith and love for each other.
