Sometimes you must go back in order to move forward. A page-turning story of family secrets for fans of Santa Montefiore and Lucinda Riley

'A fascinating account of Italian life, written with skill and insight' Katie Fforde

Sophie is only a quarter Italian. But that quarter is her charismatic grandfather Cesare, and he has instilled in her a great love of her Italian heritage. So when a journalist starts to investigate Cesare's war record, Sophie is reluctant to question just how proud she should really be.

She embarks upon a journey into the past which takes her from nineteenth-century Naples to London's Italian quarter and one of the Second World War's forgotten tragedies. And along the way she also learns something very important about herself...
