So when \u003cstrong\u003eWorld War Two breaks out\u003c\/strong\u003e, she refuses to leave the life she's worked so hard to build for herself, teaching English to little Marco and Eloisa in the beautiful Italian city of Naples. With their father \u003cstrong\u003eGiancarlo\u003c\/strong\u003e away fighting for the fascists, there's no one else to care for these lost children. Imogen's dark hair and perfect Italian will protect her for now, but if anyone discovers her secret identity as an enemy of Italy, Marco and Eloisa will be left with no one.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As the shadows of bomber planes darken the azure-blue waters of the bay, the one person Imogen can depend on is \u003cstrong\u003eFabrizio\u003c\/strong\u003e, the children's uncle. He's never seen eye-to-eye with their father, and Imogen is forbidden to speak to him... but whenever they secretly meet in the lemon groves Imogen instantly feels safe. Fabrizio talks passionately of the \u003cem\u003eresistenza\u003c\/em\u003e, the underground group fighting the regime, and soon Imogen herself is involved - smuggling food along the rocky coast, and even supplying information on Giancarlo to help fight the Nazis and end this awful war.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e But when Giancarlo suddenly returns, injured from the fighting, Imogen is shocked to find him much changed. Rather than the fascist sympathiser she knew and resented, she sees in Giancarlo a man who would do anything to protect his children and his beloved Italy. Was she wrong to expose him as a traitor?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Torn between two sides, Imogen's own life is thrown into terrible danger when a child goes missing and her secret identity is exposed... did she put her trust in the wrong man? And is it too late to save herself, and the children from the horrors of war?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAn absolutely stunning and evocative historical read about the bravery of ordinary people in dark times, that will sweep you away to the breath-taking coastline of Italy.
