Inspired by true events from her own family history, USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Robson shares a story of terror, love, and sacrifice, that vividly evokes the most perilous days of World War II. Our Darkest Night tells the story of a young Jewish woman from Venice who aspires to be a doctor despite crackdowns by Mussolini’s government, but who must instead go into hiding in a remote village, posing as the wife of a local farmer. As the two come to know each other,... their feelings deepen, transforming their relationship into much more than a charade. Yet both fear that every passing day brings them closer to being torn apart.
