Under the Light of the Italian Moon by Jennifer Anton

'An enthralling, richly crafted story of bold women resisting destruction, death and fascism.' - Robin Pickering-Iazzi, Professor of Italian and Comparative Literature, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
A promise keeps them apart until WWII threatens to destroy their love forever
Fonzaso, Italy, between two wars
Nina Argenta doesn't want the traditional life of a rural Italian woman. The daughter of a strong-willed midwife, she is determined to define her own destiny. But when her brother emigrates to America, she promises her mother to never leave. When childhood friend Pietro Pante briefly returns to their mountain town, passion between them ignites while Mussolini forces political tensions to rise. Just as their romance deepens, Pietro must leave again for work in the coal mines of America. Nina is torn between joining him and her commitment to Italy and her mother. As Mussolini's fascists throw the country into chaos and Hitler's Nazis terrorise their town, each day becomes a struggle to survive greater atrocities. A future with Pietro seems impossible when they lose contact and Nina's dreams of a life together are threatened by Nazi occupation and an enemy she must face alone.
Spanning over two decades, Under the Light of the Italian Moon is an epic, emotional and triumphant tale of one woman's incredible resilience during the rise of fascism and Italy's collapse into WWII.
Gripping historical fiction based on a true story and heartbreaking real events.
Fans of Elena Ferrante's novels, Beneath A Scarlet Sky, All the Light We Cannot See, The Nightingale and The Tattooist of Auschwitz will enjoy this Italian saga about strong women, survival and love.
