Publisher's Summary
Love and secrets collide in Venice during WWII in an enthralling novel of brief encounters and lasting romance by the New York Times best-selling author of The Tuscan Child and Above the Bay of Angels.
Caroline Grant is struggling to accept the end of her marriage when she receives an unexpected bequest. Her beloved great-aunt Lettie leaves her a sketchbook, three keys, and a final whisper...Venice. Caroline’s quest: to scatter Juliet “Lettie” Browning’s ashes in the city she loved and to unlock the mysteries stored away for more than 60 years.
It’s 1938 when art teacher Juliet Browning arrives in romantic Venice. For her students, it’s a wealth of history, art, and beauty. For Juliet, it’s poignant memories and a chance to reconnect with Leonardo Da Rossi, the man she loves whose future is already determined by his noble family. However star-crossed, nothing can come between them. Until the threat of war closes in on Venice and they’re forced to fight, survive, and protect a secret that will bind them forever.
Key by key, Lettie’s life of impossible love, loss, and courage unfolds. It’s one that Caroline can now make right again as her own journey of self-discovery begins.

Light relief!
After listening to a couple of Orwell stories I needed to heal! This was a beautiful romantic story spanning a number of generations with some beautiful descriptions of Venice bringing back vivid memories of a visit so long ago. A really nice escape into another world.

An excellent listen
My favourite stand-alone audiobook book of Rhys Bowens so far, and I have enjoyed all of them. I really liked the narrator and I hope she is used again for her books in the future. A bit of a tear-jerker at the end.
You can read all the other comments about the storyline.
Thank you and looking forward to your next book.
