One Good Thing

The compelling new wartime novel from the bestselling author of We Were the Lucky Ones

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Italy, 1941. Lili Passigli is studying at the University of Ferrara when Mussolini's Racial Laws deem her of 'inferior' Jewish descent. As Hitler's strength grows, Lili's world begins to shrink around her, with the papers awash in Fascist propaganda and the city walls desecrated with antisemitic slurs.

When Germany invades northern Italy, however, Lili and her best friend Esti find themselves alone in Nazi-occupied territory. With the help of the resistance, they flee with Esti's two-year-old son Theo in tow, travelling south toward the Allies and freedom. On this journey through war-torn Italy, they will face untold challenges and devastating decisions.

One Good Thing by Georgia Hunter is a riveting story of resilience and courage, capturing the spirit of those who dare to fight for what is right amid the horrors of war.
