Often we never get to actually read of important historical figures interacting with the main characters.

She would have no problem using terrifying words like ‘love’ and telling me, both in person and via text, how happy being together made her. The story gripped me from the very first page when Isobella an architect is sitting in a cafe, and a woman asks her to look after her child for a few minutes, only to discover she commits suicide from a building she designed. This is a nice book and it held my interest steadily till its rather unrealistic happyendish conclusion. Years after his death after the widow is left with a child and a tangle of relationships develop with loads of intrigue.You live the stink of corruption, feel the weight of the dictatorship, taste the suppressed anger, and thrill at the subtle acts of revolt--Yes, greater acts of rebellion occur as the plot builds, but its the every day ones against the ever present threat of punishment, that get you cheering.

I enjoyed this gripping book set in Italy before the Second World War in 1932 in the Pontine Marshes which were drained and a project of Mussolini's fascist regime to build new towns and land for farms. It is a wonderfully written novel of suspense, mystery and intrigue sparkled with love and romance to soften the blows.Packed full of historical information that was not overpowering but just made the story jump from the pages. As a rule, Italian families accept strangers very kindly, so don’t be surprised to be welcomed with open hearts, sincere smiles, and firm handshakes.
