VILLA TRISTE
by LUCRETIA GRINDLE
SYNOPSIS:
Florence, 1943. Two sisters, Isabella and Caterina Cammaccio, find themselves surrounded by terror and death; and with Italy trapped under the heel of a brutal Nazi occupation, bands of Partisans rise up.
Soon Isabella and Caterina will test their wits and deepest beliefs as never before. As the winter grinds on, they will be forced to make the most important decisions of their lives. Their choices will reverberate for decades.
In the present day, Alessandro Pallioti, a senior policeman agrees to oversee a murder investigation, after it emerges the victim was once a Partisan hero. When the case begins to unravel, Pallioti finds himself working to uncover a crime lost in the twilight of war, the consequences of which are as deadly today as they were over sixty years ago.

I think one of the choices to be To go to America
I think they have to decide whether to give information or tell what they know about the murder and the situation during the war, or whether to stay quiet to protect themselves or others…

I think they had to decide on what to take with them when they headed out.
This novel sounds compelling and wonderful. They had to decide to be able to keep a secret.
The book looks wonderful
they have a dilemma, whether to stay safe or divulge what they know.
One of their decisions might be to murder someone.
Leave Italy or steal to survive? Hmm. Intriguing!
I think one of their decisions will be whether or not to leave Italy.
What to take with them when they leave Italy
I think a decision will be where to go.
I think that the sisters decide to leave Europe.
keep the investigation going or keep a low profile to survive
leave europe!
If the decision was made during the war, it likely had something to do with the partisan effort. Maybe they decided to hide a Jewish family or an Allied airman.
