Review by Library Journal Review
When Angelo Bianco's mother dies, Angelo, an American Catholic, age 11, is sent to Italy to live with his grandparents and learn to manage the Rosellis' villa. Angelo's constant companion is Jewish Eva Roselli. As children, they grow to love each other deeply. But as Angelo matures, he rejects Eva and their relationship to become a priest. When the Germans occupy Italy, Angelo risks his life to hide Eva, whom he still adores. Cassandra Campbell does an excellent job reading this emotional and romantic novel. She articulates the Italian, Irish, German, and American accents perfectly, while emphasizing the dilemma of each character as she captures their personality. VERDICT Highly recommended for all romance and World War II collections.-Ilka Gordon, Beachwood, OH © Copyright 2017. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
