BOOK DESCRIPTION
To survive the Holocaust, a young Jewish woman must pose as a Christian farmer's wife in this unforgettable novel from USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Robson, a story of terror, hope, love and sacrifice, inspired by real events, which vividly evokes the most perilous days of the Second World War.
It is the fall of 1943 and life is becoming increasingly perilous for Italian Jews like the Mazin family. With Nazi Germany now occupying most of her beloved homeland and the threat of imprisonment and deportation becoming more and more certain, Antonina Mazin has only one hope for survival: to leave Venice and her beloved parents and hiding in the countryside with a man she only has for him. met just now.
Nico Gerardi was studying to become a priest until circumstances forced him to leave the seminary to run the family farm. A moral and just man, he could not stand idly by when the fascists and Nazis began killing innocent people. Rather than risk a perilous escape across the mountains, Nina will pose as his new wife. And to ensure her safety and protect her own secrets, Nico and Nina must convince prying eyes that they are married and in love.
But life on the farm is not easy for a cultured city girl who dreams of becoming a doctor like her father, and Nico's provincial neighbors are wary of this gentle and educated woman whom they do not know. Worse still, their distrust is shared by a local Nazi official who has a vendetta against Nico. The more he learns about Nina, the more his suspicions grow, and with them his determination to take revenge.
As Nina and Nico get to know each other, their feelings deepen, turning their relationship into more than a charade. However, both fear that each day that passes will bring them closer to heartbreak. . .
