Looking out over the twinkling city lights of Florence, Claire thinks of the letter that has brought her here. Written by a woman who escaped the Blitz, it holds a secret kept for a lifetime... but can Claire make the woman's dying wish come true?
Claire
arrives at her new job as researcher at a grand English
country house, nursing a broken heart. But tucked into the back of a long-forgotten drawer she finds a letter written in an elegant hand. It tells of a wartime secret about the beautiful
Lady Violet
- whose passionate affair with an Italian prisoner of war
scandalised the village and ended in tragedy
.
Captivated, Claire promises to find Violet's daughter,
Tabitha
, and reunite her with a priceless piece of her mother's jewellery. With only the name of an Italian bakery,
Pasticceria Mancini
, to guide her, and the help of her handsome neighbour
Jim
, Claire travels to Tabitha's last known location -
Florence
Winding through the colourful streets, the sun warm on her bare shoulders, a tantalising scent of freshly baked bread floats on the air and Claire's heart leaps at the sight of an ageing bakery sign:
Mancini
. Although she learns that Tabitha hasn't been there for many years, Claire refuses to give up. And as she and Jim talk late into the night over glasses of local
chianti
, Claire looks into his piercing blue eyes and finds herself growing closer to him...
But when they finally track Tabitha down, it isn't the happy reunion she expected and Claire is
left reeling in the wake of discovering a devastating family secret
Violet's story has an ending - but will the truth lead to forgiveness, or will it only bring more pain?
And will Claire be forced to walk away from a chance of happiness with Jim at last?
Escape to Italy in this gorgeous story of past and present colliding. Readers of Lucinda Riley and Fiona Valpy will be utterly enchanted by this sweeping, romantic page-turner.
