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

'A wonderful story, beautifully told. I absolutely tore through it!' KAREN SWAN

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.
