<b>Il Mulino. An old crumbling mill, by a winding river, nestled in the Tuscan mountains. An empty home that holds memories of homemade pasta and Nonna鈥檚 stories by the fire, and later: the Nazi invasion, and a family torn apart by a heartbreaking betrayal.</b><br /><br /><b>Anna</b> is distraught when her beloved mother, <b>Ines</b>, passes away. She inherits a box of papers, handwritten in Italian and yellowed with age, and a tantalising promise that the truth about what happened during the war lies within.<br /><br />The diaries lead Anna to the small village of Rofelle, where she slowly starts to heal as she explores sun-kissed olive groves, and pieces together her mother鈥檚 past: happy days spent herding sheep across Tuscan meadows cruelly interrupted when World War Two erupted and the Nazis arrived; fleeing her home to join the <i>Resistenza</i>; and risking everything to protect an injured British soldier who captured her heart. But Anna is no closer to learning the truth: what sent Ines running from her adored homeland?<br /><br />When she meets an elderly Italian gentleman living in a deserted hamlet, who flinches at her mother鈥檚 name and refuses to speak English, Anna is sure he knows more about the devastating secret that tore apart her mother鈥檚 family. <b>But in this small Tuscan community, some wartime secrets were never meant to be uncovered鈥?lt;/b><br /><br /><b>A stunning tale, inspired by true events, about how the tragic consequences of war can echo through generations, and how love can guide us through the darkest times.
