Italy, 1944: After a devastating attack on her family’s bookshop, Helèna finds herself searching for somewhere she can heal her heart. And when she takes refuge in the convent on the island of Santa Caterina, she finds peace cataloguing the rare books in the island’s library.
But when war reaches the island, everything changes. An injured soldier washes up on the shore and, desperate to keep him safe, Helena risks everything to protect him. And as the Nazis advance on the island, searching for valuable manuscripts, Helèna realises she must protect her home – no matter the cost…

When she arrives on the beautiful Italian island of Santa Caterina, the last person Francesca expects is to meet handsome and enigmatic Thiago, an Italian collector also keen to buy the manuscripts. But the pair soon discover that the books were hidden during the Second World War and have never been found. With just a young woman’s diary to guide them, they begin to piece together the mystery…
