To survive the Holocaust, a young Jewish woman poses as a Christian farmer's wife in this gripping tale inspired by true events from USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Robson. In autumn 1943, life becomes increasingly dangerous for Italian Jews like the Mazin family. With Nazi Germany occupying her homeland, Antonina Mazin faces the threat of imprisonment and deportation. Her only hope lies in escaping Venice to hide in the countryside with a man she has just met, Nico Gerardi, who left the seminary to run his family's farm. A moral man, Nico cannot stand by as the fascists and Nazis take innocent lives. To safeguard her, Nina poses as his new bride, and they must convincingly portray a happy marriage to avoid suspicion. However, farm life proves challenging for Nina, a cultured city girl aspiring to be a doctor, especially as Nico's neighbors are wary of her. Their distrust is compounded by a local Nazi official with a vendetta against Nico, whose growing suspicions threaten their safety. As Nina and Nico's relationship deepens beyond mere pretense, they grapple with the fear that each passing day brings them closer to being torn apart.
