Publisher's Summary
A mysterious stranger known as 'The Wolf' leaves an infant with the sisters of Santo Spirito. A tiny silver key hidden in her wrappings is the only clue to the child's identity and so begins a story as intriguing and beautiful as the city of Florence itself. Belinda Alexandra's new novel, Tuscan Rose, is set in Italy during the time of Mussolini. This richly woven tale of passion, love, longing, witchcraft and magic promises to be everything her readers love and more.

WOW! What a journey!
It felt like one of her longest books I'd listened to, but there were no boring bits, and it was an amazing journey! There were definitely some sad moments, but a heart warming story of how she survived her continuous struggles, including a horrendous war. I highly recommend reading it.
