I was fortunate enough to win an advanced copy of this book from a contest on Jennifer Robinson's Facebook page. It arrived just before my Christmas break, and I got up early every day to read it before my family was awake. I could not put it down! It had a little bit of everything: suspense, romance, history. The narrative is beautifully written and confidently dropped me deep into the plot within the first few pages. All the historical research the author brought to bear on this novel felt very natural and made it both realistic and vivid. The characters are well developed and memorable, and I don't think I will ever forget this moving story that is a tribute to the remarkable people who survived World War II in Italy. I have read Jennifer Robinson's previous novels, and this one did not disappoint. I highly recommend it! I
