A country at war. An impossible choice. A woman who will risk everything to be free.
Tuscany, 1942: having moved from England to the beautiful city of Lucca before the outbreak of war, Lizzie Thorton adores her job as tutor to eight-year-old Cristo – despite the fact that his father, Count Antonio de Falco, is a notable fascist and supporter of Mussolini.

Then war is declared, and Lizzie is suddenly regarded as an enemy in the country she loves so much. When new tutor Vincenzo Baldini arrives, Lizzie is exposed to a new secret world; Vincenzo is actually a member of the Italian resistance, running an anti-fascist propaganda magazine. Lizzie, desperate to be part of the fight, joins Vincenzo’s unit, and soon she is head over heels in love.

But when someone from her past reappears and threatens to overturn her new life, Lizzie must decide if she has the strength to fight for what, and who, she truly wants.

Based on true events, The Tuscan Daughter is an utterly sweeping and heartbreaking story of one woman’s resilience, courage, and determination in the face of fascism, perfect for fans of Mandy Robotham and Kate Quinn.
