Review: Josephine Berglund
This dual timeline story is set between World War II in Naples and the Golden Age of Hollywood. Two very opposing worlds which are carefully woven together using research and well-developed characters. The story explores how far we will go to protect the people we love. It includes many twists and turns that make for a great story.
