1945, Italy. Two sisters give birth to two little girls on the same night, huddled under blankets, deep in the black woods that surround the village of Bosconero. They hold their babies close as footsteps approach. If they make even the slightest sound, the German soldiers will find them... 2006. Luce Nardini searches the cobbled streets of a remote Italian village for a house with a faded blue door. Since her only child left home, and with her estranged husband more distant than ever, she's been completely untethered. Discovering why her mother cut all contact with her family and the village she loved feels like Luce's last hope at understanding who she is. Inside the house, she's relieved to find the grandmother she never knew living out her final days. With a longing look at an ornate wooden box on her nightstand, her grandmother is just beginning to tell the heart-wrenching story of a little village ravaged by war, and why Luce's mother swore never to return, when then the unthinkable happens: an earth-shattering disaster that shakes the little village of Bosconero to its core . Feeling more lost than ever before, Luce fears that the secrets of her past have been buried forever. Her only hope is to win back the trust of the small community and find her grandmother's little wooden box amongst the rubble of the village. But will the surprise arrival of the husband she thought she'd lost help sew Luce's family back together, or tear it apart for good? And will anything have prepared her for the devastating betrayal she finds hidden inside the box...? An unputdownable historical novel about the secrets we keep to protect the ones we love by the author of million-copy Amazon No 1. bestseller, Watch Over Me. Perfect for anyone who loves Fiona Valpy, Lily Graham or The Letter by Kathryn Hughes. Everyone is talking about Daniela Sacerdoti: 'I really loved it... makes you want to curl up in a chair with a warm drink and read this slowly. I found myself not wanting to devour this , but to savour every page . It's emotional and empowering and the characters fill your mind completely long after you have finished the story.
