Daughter of Genoa
Devereaux, Kat2025
Book
Genoa, 1944. Widowed and alone, Anna Pastorino has been surviving on her wits since the Germans invaded. The daughter of a prominent Jewish antifascist, Anna lives a hidden life in her small flat near the harbour - until an RAF bomb destroys her only shelter. When a Jesuit priest approaches her offering help, she has no choice but to accept. She follows her new friend, Father Vittorio, to a safe house above a printers' shop in a quiet street near via Assarotti. But the Tipografia Guichard is more than just a refuge. It's a forgery workshop - a key part of the secret rescue operation headed by Massimo Teglio, the 'Scarlet Pimpernel' of Genoa's persecuted Jewish population. Drawn into a world of clandestine resistance, Anna discovers a new sense of purpose, a circle of friends, and a passion that brings her alive. Soon, the little flat above the shop holds more secrets than anyone could imagine.
