It’s 1945. The Nazi occupation of Italy is in its closing days. But risk is ever present.
It’s been nearly two years since Sarah Zinsi found tenuous sanctuary in Switzerland. Unmoored in a foreign land, she heeds a rumor that her village on the Lake Como shore has been liberated. Clutching her young daughter, Sarah navigates the arduous mountain trek back home to be with Luca Benedetto, the father of her child.
A resister to the end, Luca has one last assignment: assassinate Mussolini, the man who destroyed everything Luca cherished and who forced the love of his life to flee. Sarah’s path crosses that of a charismatic and kindly black marketeer turned partisan spy. He vows to keep mother and child safe as Luca’s perilous mission escalates and the Nazis’ final moves devolve into chaos.
But for Sarah and Luca, the pull of love, the will to survive, and the promise of a new family are greater than any odds against them.
With his older daughter, Zanny, Roland Merullo writes the popular Substack newsletter Hi Zan, Hi Pa.
