Description
1923. Taking just the linens she has sewn as her dowry and a statue of the Madonna that sits by her bedside, Maria Vittoria leaves the austere Italian mountain village of her birth. Over the next three decades, as she moves to the town where she and her husband become shopkeepers, through the birth of their five children, through the hardships and cruelties of the National Fascist Party Rule and the Second World War, Maria trusts no one and fears everyone: her Fascist cousin, her watchful neighbors, the Nazis and the Partisans who show up hungry at her door. As Maria's children grow up and her marriage endures its own hardships, she must hold her family together with resilience, love, and faith, until she makes a fateful decision that will change the course of all their lives--Adapted from publisher info.
