In the enchanting city of Rome, where secrets are whispered amidst the ancient ruins, Lottie Archer arrives with a sense of excitement and anticipation, ready to embark on her new role as an archivist. Little does she know that the Eternal City holds a treasure trove of untold stories, waiting to be uncovered.


As Lottie delves into the archives, her curiosity is piqued when she stumbles upon a valuable fifteenth-century painting. Intrigued by the mysterious woman depicted in the artwork, Nina Lawrence, she embarks on a quest to learn more about her life. What begins as a simple search for historical information soon turns into a captivating journey into the past.


Nina Lawrence appears to have lived a fulfilling and purposeful existence. After the devastation of World War Two, she dedicated herself to restoring the beauty of Italian gardens, leaving a lasting legacy. However, it is curious that no one attended her funeral in 1978. Lottie, driven by her insatiable curiosity, begins to unravel the tragic love story that intertwined with the political turmoil of post-war Italy.


As she delves deeper into Nina's past, Lottie confronts her own losses and struggles. Through her journey, she discovers the power of forgiveness, resilience, and the ability to find beauty even in the darkest of times.
