Inspired by her own family's history, Tania Blanchard creates a beautiful story of family, love, friendship, loss, and healing set in WWII Italy.
Echoes of War follows Giulia and her family through the highs and lows of life, from just before the war starts and through to life after the war.
A captivating book not too heavy on war, based heavily on family, brings out strong female characters, but skims over the loss and deaths of characters.
