Everleigh's arrival in a small Italian town unearths a web of secrets, shame, and unexpected honor in this award-winning, gripping blend of mystery and psychological drama.

The brightest things in Everleigh's otherwise dull days in 1964 London are colors, fashion she's not brave enough to wear, and the idea of the enchanted life she'll inherit when she marries Gualtiero. But her dreams are crushed when her beloved mysteriously vanishes before the wedding. Everleigh travels to Italy, convinced he's returned to his hometown, but when she tracks down the man everyone knows as Gualtiero, she has never seen him before. The question is no longer where her fianc is, but who he is.

Determined to uncover the truth, Everleigh teams up with two unlikely friends. Soon, she unlocks a shocking truth about Gualtiero that propels the three women on a collision course that will shatter everything they thought they knew about family-and themselves.
