Read what everyone\'s saying about Angela Petch: \'Fantastic read...
Perfect for fans of Rhys Bowen, The Nightingale , and anyone longing to lose themselves in the mountain landscapes and olive groves of rural Tuscany.
But how did the brooch end up at the house? And with a traitor hiding in the village, willing to do anything to keep this secret buried, has Fosca put herself and her young son in terrible danger? An Absolutely gripping and heartbreaking page-turner that explores the incredible courage of ordinary people in extraordinary times.
With Richard by her side, she must find out if Simonetta is still alive, and clear her own name.
Fosca has always suspected that another member of the resistenza betrayed her.
But her fragile peace is shattered the moment a silver brooch is found in the garden, and she recognises it as Simonetta\'s...
Wary of this handsome stranger at first, Fosca slowly starts to feel safe as she watches him play with her son in the overgrown orchard.
The whole community was torn apart, and now Fosca and her son are outcasts.
But after a heartbreaking betrayal, Fosca\'s best friend Simonetta disappeared without trace.
She once risked everything to spy on Nazi commanders and pass secret information to the resistenza .
For young mother Fosca Sentino , accepting refuge from ex-British soldier Richard - in Tuscany to escape his tragic past - is the only way to keep her little family safe.
But they both freeze in shock when a voice calls out from the shadows...
Since the war, nowhere has been safe.
A woman and a little boy stagger into the ruins of an old house deep in the forest, wild roses overwhelming the crumbling terracotta walls.
