The Lost Secrets Of The Italian Post Office by Amanda Weinberg and Silvia Mazzola. Narrated by Victoria Fox.

I love historical fiction, war stories etc… and this did not disappoint. It was inspired by true events. The narrator Victoria Fox done a great job narrating various characters, in Italian voices. Ambra’s voice was so annoying that it suited her character and made me dislike her even more lol. Great story, I can’t imagine how it would have been to live through those times in WW2, under the reign of fascist Benito Mussolini. I liked Nina’s character a lot and the risks she took to help those in the camps. 4 stars

I am an avid fan of WWII historical fiction novels and this is a great perspective of many Italians during that period. The small towns were tired of the fascist regime and wanted a peaceful country life. This novel is full of friendship, betrayal, anger, and love. The novel started out slow but the pace picked up in the middle. Unfortunately, I only had an audiobook and was very disappointed in the narrator trying to speak with an Italian accent. She spoke so swiftly and the women’s voices high pitched that sometimes it was difficult to comprehend. I would recommend a hard copy of the book.
