An instant New York Times bestseller and ‘an unforgettable historical epic’ (Lisa Jewell) that binds four generations of women, set against the sun-drenched backdrop of early twentieth-century southern Europe.

Domenica Cabrelli had two great loves of her life. First, her childhood sweetheart, from the small, sun-drenched Italian town of Viareggio. A romance that was over before it had a chance to begin. Then, on a wartime French coastline, her second love affair - a mysterious captain, with a future on the front line.

Decades later, Domenica's daughter, Matelda, unpacks her mother's legacy and realises there is much Domenica left untold. About what kept her away from Italy for so long. What ultimately brought her home again. And the secret that bound her two great loves together...
