From New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling
author Rhys Bowen comes a haunting novel about a woman who
braves her father’s hidden past to discover his secrets…In 1944,
British bomber pilot Hugo Langley parachuted from his stricken
plane into the verdant fields of German-occupied Tuscany. Badly
wounded, he found refuge in a ruined monastery and in the arms
of Sofia Bartoli. But the love that kindled between them was
shaken by an irreversible betrayal. Nearly thirty years later,
Hugo’s estranged daughter, Joanna, has returned home to the
English countryside to arrange her father’s funeral. Among his
personal effects is an unopened letter addressed to Sofia. In it
is a startling revelation. Still dealing with the emotional
wounds of her own personal trauma, Joanna embarks on a healing
journey to Tuscany to understand her father’s history—and maybe
come to understand herself as well. Joanna soon discovers that
some would prefer the past be left undisturbed, but she has come
too far to let go of her father’s secrets now…
