THE TUSCAN SECRET IBD

Sinopsis

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&rsquo,s stories by the fire, and later: the Nazi invasion, and a family torn apart by a heartbreaking betrayal.Annaáis distraught when her beloved mother,áInes, 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.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&rsquo,s 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 theáResistenza, 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?When she meets an elderly Italian gentleman living in a deserted hamlet, who flinches at her mother&rsquo,s name and refuses to speak English, Anna is sure he knows more about the devastating secret that tore apart her mother&rsquo,s family.áBut in this small Tuscan community, some wartime secrets were never meant to be uncovered&hellip,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.
