À propos de cet audio
'Nobody does epic romance like Santa Montefiore' JOJO MOYES
New York, 1979.
It is Thanksgiving and Evelina has her close family and beloved friends gathered around, her heart weighted with gratitude for what she has and regret for what she has given up. She has lived in America for over thirty years, but she is still Italian in her soul.
Northern Italy, 1934.
Evelina leads a sheltered life with her parents and siblings in a villa of fading grandeur. When her elder sister Benedetta marries a banker, to suit her father’s wishes rather than her own, Evelina swears that she will never marry out of duty. She knows nothing of romantic love, but when she meets Ezra, son of the local dressmaker, her heart recognises it like an old friend.
Evelina wants these carefree days to last forever. She wants to bask in sunshine, beauty and love and pay no heed to the grey clouds gathering on the horizon. But nothing lasts forever. The shadows of war are darkening over Europe and precious lives are under threat…
Ce que les critiques en disent
‘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
