#1 bestselling author Lisa Scottoline offers a sweeping and shattering epic of historical fiction fueled by shocking true events, the tale of a love triangle that unfolds in the heart of Rome...in the creeping shadow of fascism.What war destroys, only love can heal.Elisabetta, Marco, and Sandro grow up as the best of friends despite their differences. Elisabetta is a feisty beauty who dreams of becoming a novelist; Marco the brash and athletic son in a family of professional cyclists; and Sandro a Jewish mathematics prodigy, kind-hearted and thoughtful, the son of a lawyer and a doctor. Their friendship blossoms to love, with both Sandro and Marco hoping to win Elisabetta's heart. But in the autumn of 1937, all of that begins to change as Mussolini asserts his power, aligning Italy's Fascists with Hitler's Nazis and altering the very laws that govern Rome. In time, everything that the three hold dear—their families, their homes, and their connection to one another—is tested in ways they never could have imagined.As anti-Semitism takes legal root and World War II erupts, the threesome realizes that Mussolini was only the beginning. The Nazis invade Rome, and with their occupation come new atrocities against the city's Jews, culminating in a final, horrific betrayal. Against this backdrop, the intertwined fates of Elisabetta, Marco, Sandro, and their families will be decided, in a heartbreaking story of both the best.

    a deeply emotional story

    As she flexes her writing skills from mystery/thrillers to historical fiction, Lisa Scottoline adds her considerable talents into this powerful book set at the beginning of WWII in Italy. I had not read many stories centered on the Italian point of view, so much of the background in the story was new to me. That always adds a depth to a story, pulling the reader....me....deeper into the lives and many challenges met by our three main characters. Ms Scottoline has always built characters that are true to the eras in which they live, adding small details along the way to enrich the story. If this is her first try at historical fiction, the only question is .....why did she wait so long?

    Eternally Remembered

    Eternal touched everything I love in one book. I always felt 'comfortable' each time I opened it up to read. I love historical novels making this the first one I ever read about Italy during 2nd WW. It was so informative. I had wished the author included the death of Benito Mussolini after his downfall. I loved each character as she made them all family. The Jews especially reveled acceptance, loyalty, example, and love for their neighbors which won over evil in the end. This strength sustained them. Scottoline did a magnificent job uniting them all including the reader. Georgene Villanueva
