About this listen

Italy, 1943. With tears in her eyes, Giulia listens out for bombers flying overhead. Through the fabric of her lace dress, swollen by pregnancy, her fingers touch the cold bullets carefully sewn into the seams. She must take action, even if Luca never forgives her ...

New York, present day. When Tori Coleman discovers that her mother was adopted, her whole world shatters. She puts her marriage to Jeremy on hold and urgently flies to Italy to try to uncover her origins. The only clue to her biological family's identity is a photo: of an ornate wedding dress made by her grandmother, which is now held in a museum collection on the island of Ciani ...

Just as Tori is getting closer to answers, an unexpected call from Jeremy stops her in her tracks. Will the secrets in her family help her follow her own heart, or send her home from Italy with it finally broken forever?

Critic Reviews

'Josselsohn amazes me with her deft and very moving handling of dual timelines that remind us how we carry our histories with us in our daily lives ... I was so rewarded, even moved to tears, when I finished this novel.' (Jimin Han, author of The Apology)
