Florence, 1940. War creeps closer, and the elegant lives of the Englishwomen living in Italy are unraveling fast. With Fascist rule closing shops and silencing dissent, Angelina Leone finds herself caught in a dangerous game of survival.
An art historian and the half-Italian niece of a resistance figure, Lina is offered a devil’s bargain: help the Nazis authenticate stolen art in exchange for her aunt’s safety. But when a haunting portrait crosses her desk, she makes a choice that could cost everything. She calls it a fake.
That lie could be her undoing.
The Florence Sisters is a gripping historical novel of courage, betrayal, and resistance in a city at war. Tessa Harris delivers a tense, beautifully written story where every brushstroke holds a secret—and every decision carries a cost.
