Produktbeschreibung

Dark secrets and hidden sorrows abound in Santa Montefiore's spellbinding novel set in war-torn Italy and the streets of New York.

Rezensionen

'A sweeping tale of deep love lost and found, An Italian Girl in Brooklyn spans many decades and two continents as a woman who lost everything during World War II learns to live again. Filled with the colour and warmth of northern Italy, the pain and salvation of family, and the courage and determination it takes to start life over across an ocean, the talented Santa Montefiore's latest ripples with longing, fate, and hope. The based-on-a-true-story twists will have you gasping aloud.' - Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author of The Forest of Vanishing Stars and The Book of Lost Names

'An irresistible page-turner.' - The Toronto Star
