Publisher's Synopsis
Santina is spending her final days at her home, Villa San Vito, in the beautiful Italian town of Positano. As she decides the fate of the magnificent eighteenth-century palazzo, she must confront the choices that led her here. In 1949, hoping to escape poverty, young Santina became housekeeper to a distinguished British major and his creative, impulsive wife, Adeline. When they moved to Positano, Santina joined them, raising their daughter as Adeline's mental health declined. With each passing year, Santina became more deeply entwined with the family, trying to navigate her complicated feelings for a man who was much more than an employer, while hiding secrets that could shatter the only home she knew.
