A Harvest of Secrets

A Novel

De: Roland Merullo

Narrado por: Will Damron

From the bestselling author of From These Broken Streets comes a sweeping novel of love, resistance, and courage set against the backdrop of WWII Italy.

Italy, 1943. The seeds of terror planted by Hitler have brought Allied forces to Italian soil. Young lovers separated by war—one near a Tuscan hill town, the other a soldier on the Sicilian front—will meet any challenge to reunite.

Vittoria SanAntonio, the daughter of a prosperous vineyard owner, is caught in a web of family secrets. Defying her domineering father, she has fallen for humble vineyard keeper Carlo Conte. When Carlo is conscripted into Mussolini’s army, it sets a fire in Vittoria, and she joins the resistance. As the Nazi war machine encroaches, Vittoria is drawn into dangers as unknowable as those faced by the man she loves.

Badly wounded on the first day of the invasion, Carlo regains consciousness on a farm in Sicily. Nursed back to health by a kind family there, he embarks on an arduous journey north through his ravaged homeland. For Carlo and Vittoria, as wartime threats mount and their paths diverge, what lies ahead will test their courage as never before.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A well-recommended read.”—Historical Novels Review

narration were amazing

The best part of this book was the narration by Will Damron, I am a huge fan of his work and he always makes the stories even more interesting and even deep. I enjoy so much his work and this was no exception.

A harvest of secrets is the story of two young lovers separated by the war these young couples will have to fight to survive many things even secrets and lies from their own families.

A Harvest of secrets is another great book by Roland Merullo, his books are always very heart-wrenching in a good way and always make us feel what the characters are going through as if we were living during those sad times.

without giving too much away this is a story that will keep you immersed at all times, intriguing and wondering what will happen next with each character but especially for Vittoria SanAntonio, the daughter of the vineyard owner, A domineering man who was not kind and had many agendas. Vittoria is in love with Carlo Conte the vineyard keeper, making her situation even more endangered and difficult.

Vittoria is a great character I feel like the more we read the story we see how she starts to grow and become even more bold and fearless to fight for what she wants in life.

it wasn't an easy story as many of the ww2 books are hard to read and see what they went through but at the same time, it was a very good story and very enjoyable.

Walk to read

I was very captured my the historical fiction that brought the feeling of believing all sides have supporters and non believers. The last few chapters just lost the theme and turned into soap opera. I would still read additional books by this author.

Loved it !

Great historical tale. Felt like I knew all the characters. I hated to see this book end. Well done.

Good WWII story

I really enjoyed this story. I had a bit of a hard time occasionally following who was who, but all in all, I really liked it. It was a good peak into what it was like for Italians during the war.

Italy WW 2. Exquisite

Just a great read. I love this author. He has voice that is relaxed yet elegant & filled with history from a perspective not usually taken
