I very much loved the first part of the book, where their different stories are progressively woven together, as I had the opportunity to fully understand their fears and motivations. I particularly liked how the writer rotates her narration around the many points of views of all protagonists. The mixing of fictional and historical events is well accomplished, and I felt able to roam the streets of Fascist Rome with Cordelia Olivieri. It has memorable, strong characters, all determined to reach their goals and the writer did a great job in placing them into a well portrayed, true-life context. For a start, the plot is original, the book is very well written and I liked the storytelling a lot. I enjoy WWII historical fiction and this one delivered on many fronts.
