Calling all historical fiction fans, here is the one you've been waiting for.
On a hilltop in Umbria sits Valetto. Once a thriving village -and a hub of resistance and refuge during World War II - centuries of earthquakes, landslides and the lure of a better life have left it neglected. Only ten residents remain, including the widows Serafino - three eccentric sisters and their steely centenarian mother - who live quietly in their medieval villa. Then their nephew and grandson, Hugh, a historian, returns and long-buried secrets are uncovered.
A riveting, beautiful story in a stunning Italian setting.
