Summary
Love and secrets collide in Venice during WWII in an enthralling novel of brief encounters and lasting romance by the New York Times best-selling author of The Tuscan Child and Above the Bay of Angels.
Caroline Grant is struggling to accept the end of her marriage when she receives an unexpected bequest. Her beloved great-aunt Lettie leaves her a sketchbook, three keys, and a final whisper...Venice. Caroline’s quest: to scatter Juliet “Lettie” Browning’s ashes in the city she loved and to unlock the mysteries stored away for more than 60 years.
It’s 1938 when art teacher Juliet Browning arrives in romantic Venice. For her students, it’s a wealth of history, art, and beauty. For Juliet, it’s poignant memories and a chance to reconnect with Leonardo Da Rossi, the man she loves whose future is already determined by his noble family. However star-crossed, nothing can come between them. Until the threat of war closes in on Venice and they’re forced to fight, survive, and protect a secret that will bind them forever.
Key by key, Lettie’s life of impossible love, loss, and courage unfolds. It’s one that Caroline can now make right again as her own journey of self-discovery begins.

Venice in the Second World war, before and after
I have never been to Venice but always hoped to visit. This romantic story gave me a vivid picture of a remarkable city. It is told through the eyes of two women, Julietta and Caroline who live in different times. One before and during the war and the other in present times. Their lives are remarkably linked.

Emotive listen
Rhys Bowen has created a very emotive read - the narration was amazing creating very believable characters and transmitting many emotions to the listener making me believe I was with the characters in Venice! It was a historical journey also.

A story that keeps you guessing !
I've recently come across this author and I mean to read more of his books! His charcters are believable, as are the plots. You get embroiled in the story and the period of history it takes place in is brought vividly to life. An excellent read, which is also good to listen to!
