Amazing! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I have read very little about Italy during WWII so reading about how the Catholic Church helped protect and hide the Italian Jews was thought provoking and inspiring. The story of Eva and Angelo was beautiful and heartbreaking and insightful all at once. This is definitely going on my list of favorites and everyone should read this book! ❤️

tpixie I've somehow been reading about France and WW2 lately. The Nightingale, The Muralist. I need to learn about Italy! I've also got Chasing Portraits coming to me in the mail soon. 8y
readinginthedark You should watch the movie Life is Beautiful! Wonderful and heartbreaking--it's set in Italy during WWII. 8y

MeganAnn @tpixie The Nightingale has been on my TBR for awhile. I had to look up the other two and they both look great so I added them to my list! Thanks for the recommendations! 8y
MeganAnn @readinginthedark I'll have to look for that movie! Do you know if it's on Netflix? 8y
MeganAnn @Suet624 👍🏻👏🏻😊 8y
readinginthedark @MeganAnn It was some years ago, but I bought it after watching it once and never looked again. But you might be able to rent it or find one at the library if it's not! 8y
tpixie @readinginthedark thx for movie 🎥 info!! 8y
tpixie @MeganAnn Chasing Portraits should be a real book- there are photo inserts of the paintings. I had my first Amazon fail- the cover was sappy. So I'm returning and reordering! 8y

Some of the chapters were hard to follow at first. I didn't have any idea anything like this had actually happened. Interesting and horrific. The details of torture were stomach turning and the grief felt so real. I'm going to need some fluff read after this.

Anyone else going to read The Zookeeper this month to see the movie?

Mindyrecycles I'll definitely read it this year but don't think I'll get to it this month. 😕 8y

Excellent bit of history, told through the compelling personal stories of 4 women during the Civil War. These women took incredible risks for their beliefs. A great read full of suspicion, imprisonment, battle scars, broken limbs, spy circles, secret codes, undercover missions, secret rooms, not to mention early accounts of medicine & spy craft that will make you very glad you didn't need a doctor & some hints if you ever need to encode a message.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Great read for anyone looking for a historical #OwnVoices read, a #NonFiction or #NonFiction2017 read, #LitsyRC13, #FemaleAuthor or simply a #ShePersisted with some very strong and determined ladies who didn't take "no" from anyone, not even 2 Presidents and a King or two.
