Review: Historical fiction, part family drama with a murder mystery and a missing pieces of art. I enjoyed this book, at times I had a feeling where the story was going. I felt for Hugo, the injured pilot. Joanna felt lost, in terms of where she was going, very capable person, perhaps her life was regrouping.

Back Cover: In 1944, British bomber pilot Hugo Langley parachuted from his stricken plane into the verdant fields of German-occupied Tuscany. Badly wounded, he found refuge in a ruined monastery and in the arms of Sofia Bartoli. But the love that kindled between them was shaken by an irreversible betrayal.

Nearly thirty years later, Hugo’s estranged daughter, Joanna, has returned home to the English countryside to arrange her father’s funeral. Among his personal effects is an unopened letter addressed to Sofia. In it is a startling revelation.

Still dealing with the emotional wounds of her own personal trauma, Joanna embarks on a healing journey to Tuscany to understand her father’s history―and maybe come to understand herself as well. Joanna soon discovers that some would prefer the past be left undisturbed, but she has come too far to let go of her father’s secrets now…

I read this book and though I finished it I found it a little sow and predictable at times.
