| Summary: | New York, 1979--It is Thanksgiving and Evelina has her family and beloved friends gathered together. Her heart, while full of gratitude for all that she has, is weighted with regret for what she has given up. She may have lived in America for over thirty years, but she is still Italian deep in her soul. Northern Italy, 1934--A young Evelina leads a sheltered life with her parents and siblings in a villa of fading grandeur. She knows nothing of love until she meets Ezra, the son of the local dressmaker. Their relationship is a delicious secret that she keeps to herself; she doesn't need to be told that she is too young or that Ezra is not suitable. Evelina yearns to bask in sunshine, beauty and love and pay no heed to the grey clouds gathering on the horizon, edging their way towards her and Ezra. But nothing lasts forever. The shadows of war are darkening over Europe and precious lives are under threat. |
