Eternal by Scottoline, Lisa

Description: What war destroys, only love can heal. Elisabetta, Marco, and Sandro grow up as the best of friends despite their differences. Elisabetta is a feisty beauty who dreams of becoming a novelist; Marco the brash and athletic son in a family of professional cyclists; and Sandro 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. But in the autumn of 1937, all of that begins to change as 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. As anti-Semitism takes legal root and World War II erupts, the threesome realises that Mussolini was only the beginning. Against this backdrop, the intertwined fates of Elisabetta, Marco, Sandro, and their families will be decided, in a heartbreaking story of both the best and the worst that the world has to offer. Unfolding over decades, Eternal is a tale of loyalty and loss, family and food, love and war — all set in one of the world's most beautiful cities at its darkest moment. This moving novel will be forever etched in the hearts and minds of readers. 'The master storyteller Lisa Scottoline is at the height of her powers with Eternal.' — Adriana Trigiani 'Eternal feels so real you can almost taste the cappelletti, as you get lost in the pages on your glorious and heart- wrenching trip to Italy.' — Martha Hall Kelly 'An accomplished historical novel that is both steeped in period detail and full of relatable characters...Scottoline is a master at ramping up the suspense.' — Washington Post
