The Tuscan Contessa by Dinah Jefferies
4.0
I love Dinah Jefferies’ historical fiction so much and this one did not disappoint! She is such an amazing author who captures the setting and the context so beautifully. This was a moving, emotional and heavy read at times but I loved every second.
Both Sofia and Maxine were such strong characters and the journeys they went on were inspiring. I didn’t know much about Italy during World War Two so I also learned a lot whilst reading this novel. So much suffering and devastation, but so much hope for the future. I definitely recommend this and all her other books!
