What a wonderful book! The author transports the reader back to 1943 when WW II was being fought and an Italian family separated after living on an island with their uncle. In this book a young single mother finds out the woman she thought was her grandmother is actually not. She goes back to Italy to find out why her grandmother abandoned her child. Through a series of contacts she is able to unite with her biological grandmother and find out what actually happened. I felt compelled to keep reading without much of a break as I neared the end of the book. I had to find out how it played out. This book is full of WW II history and events I was not aware happened. I recommend this book to anyone interested in WW II historical fiction. I received an arc of this book from NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions expressed are my own.

This book was really good and captivated me in transporting me to another time I felt like the characters were like friends. The author did a wonderful job!
