The acclaimed author of A Train in Winter and Village of Secrets returns with the next chapter in "The Resistance Quartet": the remarkable story of the Rosselli family, who bravely opposed Mussolini’s fascism in Italy between the World Wars. Led by matriarch Amelia, the Rossellis, part of Florence’s aristocracy, became vocal anti-fascists as right-wing nationalism swept Europe. Sons Carlo and Nello spearheaded the resistance, risking their lives against Mussolini's brutal regime. Though both were assassinated, the family's courage remains a powerful testament to resisting tyranny. Historian Caroline Moorehead paints an intimate portrait of this heroic family and their fight for humanity during one of history’s darkest times.
