Summary |
"Nina Argenta doesn't want the traditional life of a rural Italian woman. The daughter of a strong-willed midwife, she is determined to define her own destiny. But when her brother emigrates to America, she promises her mother to never leave... As Mussolini's fascists throw the country into chaos and Hitler's Nazis terrorise their town, each day becomes a struggle to survive greater atrocities. A future with Pietro seems impossible when they lose contact and Nina's dreams of a life together are threatened by Nazi occupation and an enemy she must face alone..." -- Back cover |
