From the author of the international bestseller White Gardenia, who returns with the most dazzling of all her heroines so far. A mysterious stranger leaves an infant at the convent of Santo Spirito. A small silver key hidden in the girl's swaddling is the only clue to her identity.
The only family Rosa has known are the nuns who raised her. When she turns fifteen, she leaves the convent and goes to work as the governess for the daughter of a marquis and his peculiar, terrifying wife. Their home is aristocratic, but a curse weighs upon it, and Rosa is torn between her desire to learn the truth and her fear of the impact that this truth will have on her.
Meanwhile, the cold hand of fascism wraps around Italy. No one is safe anymore. Rosa will face indescribable cruelty. Her only weapons for survival are her intelligence, her determination... and her very special ability to love.
A novel about sacrifice and reward, about beauty and danger – and ultimately about redemption, in a way that only Belinda Alexandra can achieve. A wonderful narrative. Belinda Alexandra has successfully created an intricate world where the reader can become lost.
