Fabulous' Lesley Pearse

The Liberation is set in Italy in 1945 as British and American troops attempt to bring order to the devastated country, and Italy’s population fights to survive. Caterina Lombardi is desperate – her father is dead, her mother has disappeared, and her brother is being drawn towards danger.

One morning, among the ruins of the bombed Naples streets, Caterina is forced to go to extreme lengths to protect her own life. In doing so, she forges a future in which she must clear her father's name. An Allied Army officer accuses him of treason, and Caterina discovers a plot against her family. Who can she trust, and who is the real enemy now? And will the secrets of the past be her downfall?

This epic novel is an unforgettably powerful story of love, loss, and the long shadow of war.
