So when a journalist starts to investigate Cesare's wartime record, Sophie is reluctant to question just how proud she should really be.

She embarks upon a journey into the past which takes her from nineteenth-century Naples to London's Italian quarter and one of World War 2's forgotten tragedies. And along the way she also learns something very important about herself ...

Thats a number of hours I’ll never get back

It went on and on back and forth and nothing was really established. Sofia slept with several men on a whim never sure who she wanted or why she was doing it. I love Ellie Griffiths and had really enjoyed the previous De Rosa book but this one was definitely not for me.
