The Keeper of Lost Art Heartbreaking World War Two historical fiction by Lelita Baldock

This book has it all! War, resistance, love and family. Beautifully written and set in three different timelines in Mussolino’s Italy, it tells the tales of Eva and her twin brother Elio and Alessia and Siena. Eva, studying art in Florence with her twin brother in the 1920s, falls for her professor, while Elio joins the Fascists.

In the midst of war, fierce Siena flees to Bari where quiet and calm Alessia lives with her Nonna and younger brother. Why has she turned up at Alessia’s door and what secrets does she hold? How are their stories intertwined? 

The tragedy of war-torn Italy is vividly described and the story is so moving that the ending is almost sure to make you cry! I will certainly look for more books by Lelita Baldock.

I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
