5/5
I still have tears in my eyes, truly an amazing story told by an amazing author. I was hooked from the very beginning, and did not want to put it down, when I did put it down, I could not wait to pick it up again.It was history, it was an adventure, it was a journey, it was a love story, it was just amazing. I loved the characters, I found Pino to be a strong brave and courageous man. His faith made the story even better, as I too believe faith is a strong thing.
This was a historical fiction that was close to what actually happened to Pina Lella during WWII in Milan and parts of Italy. I have read many historical fiction books and loved many, this one also touched my heart as the others and then some. My emotions were all over the place. Maybe because I know it was more real, or the people were real. It was truly a story that i won't forget, it's one of those stories that stay with you. The twist will have me wondering for a long while. I did learn some new things as this story takes place in Italy, and includes Mussolini. I was not to familiar with II Duce till this book. I did look up several things and people, they proved to be interesting as well as accurate.
The author's follow up, was a big plus for me. I wanted to know what happened to the characters including Pino. I will admit, that last line is a doozy.
