Blog Tour Review: Daughters of Tuscany, by Siobhan Daiko

Available from Amazon UK and Amazon US

Two women, one community, everyone’s war…

Set in the Tuscan countryside, this compelling new book from Siobhan Daiko takes us into the lives of two very different women as they deal with the consequences of life in occupied Italy. Emma, the daughter of the wealthy landowner,  has a promising future ahead of her, while hard-working Rosa is already widowed by the war.

Siobhan has a talent for evocative details and developing convincingly complex relationships. Both of these women face impossible choices and must risk everything to save the people they love.  

The idyllic start soon builds as the region becomes a dangerous battlefield, and they are drawn into supporting the resistance. Impeccably researched, Daughters of Tuscany offers an insight into rarely explored events of the second world war, a story of courage and resilience which deserves to be told.
