Description
A beautifully atmospheric new tale from the prize-winning, bestselling novelist Elizabeth Buchan.
In the Eternal City, no secret stays hidden forever...
Lottie Archer arrives in Rome excited to begin her new job as an archivist. When she discovers a valuable fifteenth-century painting, she is drawn to find out more about the woman who left it behind, Nina Lawrence.
Nina seems to have led a rewarding and useful life, restoring Italian gardens to their full glory following the destruction of World War Two. So why did no one attend her funeral in 1978?
In exploring Nina's past, Lottie unravels a tragic love story beset by the political turmoil of post-war Italy. And as she edges closer to understanding Nina, she begins to confront the losses in her own life.

This is a story set in two timelines. The late 70’s and present day.
Lottie Archer is recently married to Tom and has settled with him at his home in Rome. She secures a job working as an archivist. She is given the task of cataloguing a painting belonging to Nina Lawrence who was murdered in 1979.
Lottie becomes determined to seek justice for Nina and her unsolved murder.
A wonderful story with fabulous characters set in the magnificent backdrop of Rome.
