Synopsis

Soho, 1937. When struggling Italian singer Antonio meets the wife of his wealthy new patron he recognises her instantly: it is Olivia, the captivating dance hostess he once encountered in the seedy Paradise Ballroom. Olivia is afraid that Antonio will betray the secrets of her past, but little by little they are drawn together, outsiders in a glittering world to which they do not belong. At last, with conflict looming across Europe, the attraction between them becomes impossible to resist - but when Italy declares war on Britain, the impact threatens to separate them for ever -

Author Bio
Alison Love was born in Warwickshire and grew up near Stratford-upon-Avon. Her first novel, Mallingford, published in the UK and Germany, was described in The Times as 'the sort of book that reminds one why people still like reading novels', while her second, Serafina, is set in thirteenth-century Amalfi, in a world that features astrology, alchemy and the art of paper making. Her short stories have appeared in several magazines as well as in two anthologies of London stories, and in 2013 her story 'Sophie Stops the Clock' was shortlisted for the Bristol Short Story Prize. Alison has literature degrees from the University of York and King's College London, and she has worked in the theatre, television and public relations. She now lives in Wimbledon.
