Synopsis: In 1944, British bomber pilot Hugo Langley parachuted from his stricken plane into the verdant field of German-occupied Tuscany. Badly wounded, he found refuge in a ruined monastery and in the arms of Sofia Bartoli. But the love that kindled between them was shaken by an irreversible betrayal.Nearly 30 thirty years later, Hugo's estranged daughter, Joanna, has returned home to the English countryside to arrange her father's funeral. Among his personal effects is an unopened letter address to Sofia. In it is a startling revelation.
Still dealing with the emotional wounds of her own personal trauma, Joanna embarks on a healing journey to Tuscany to understand her father's history - and maybe come to understand herself as well. Joanna soon discovers that some would prefer the past be left undisturbed, but she has come too far to let go of her father's secrets now. . .
Review: This novel has the honor of being the first I read on my Kindle Paperwhite, a Christmas gift from my husband. I'd like to read more by this author. I loved the characters and the way the story unfolded. There were areas and characters that could have been further developed, but all in all this was thoroughly enjoyable.
As an added bonus, descriptions of the Tuscan countryside and food will have you wanting to plan an Italian vacation immediately.
