Summary: Best friends, Elisabetta is a feisty beauty who dreams of becoming a novelist; Marco is the brash and athletic son in a family of professional cyclists; and Sandro is 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. In the autumn of 1937 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.
