Publisher's summary
Lidia De Angelis ha tenuto un profilo basso da quando le leggi razziali di Mussolini l’hanno strappata dal suo primo amore. Ma quando i tedeschi occupano Venezia nel 1943, è costretta a scappare dalla città per salvare la propria vita.
Lidia si unisce ai partigiani sulle montagne del Veneto, dove incontra David, un soldato inglese che combatte per la stessa causa. Man mano che si affeziona a lui, le dure rappresaglie tedesche e le appassionate attività patriottiche di Lidia minacciano di separarli.
Decenni dopo, a Londra, mentre passa in rassegna gli effetti personali della nonna dopo la sua morte, Charlotte scopre un libro di preghiere ebraico, lettere non aperte scritte in italiano e una fotografia sbiadita che ritrae un gruppo di giovani davanti al Palazzo Ducale.
Incuriosita dal rifiuto della nonna di parlare della sua vita in Italia prima e durante la guerra, Charlotte si reca a Venezia alla ricerca delle sue radici. Lì, apprende non solo la devastante verità sul passato di sua nonna, ma anche alcune verità sorprendenti su se stessa.
Per fans di Dinah Jefferies, Rosamunde Pilcher e Fiona Valpy
Please note: This audiobook is in Italian.

Story
Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights. But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled.
