Daniela Sacerdoti’s latest novel is a dual time narrative, featuring a New York art historian sent to investigate illuminated manuscripts
in an Italian convent and a young Hungarian Jewish girl who finds refuge at the
convent during the second world war. Santa Caterina is the beautiful island
that connects our two heroines.
Art historian Francesca and bookseller Thiago are both in
Santa Caterina to find out about the rare book collection that they have been
invited to discover. The mysterious owner of the island, Lavinia insists that
they team up and explore the history of the island through the diary of Helena
who had helped to save the manuscripts from the Nazi’s while risking her own safety.
This is a beautiful, romantic, page-turning tale perfect for
fans of Rachel Hore, Kate Morton and Hazel Gaynor. Available now in print and
e-book from Bookoutre.
