Why read it?

2 authors picked Eternal as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is my first Lisa Scottoline book.

She’s known for her crime fiction, but this is her first foray into historical fiction and I fell in love with the book. It doesn’t necessarily have to do with art theft but it’s one of the best WW II books I’ve ever read.

I fell in love with her characters and didn’t want the book to end. She has a new book coming out (March 2023) called Loyalty about the rise of the Mafia in Sicily, which is also fascinating and unforgettable.

From Marilyn's list on World War Two and Nazi stolen art.

This tender and authentic love triangle among three best friends in Fascist Italy during World War II unfolds in the heart of Rome at its darkest moment. Author Lisa Scottoline’s decades of research are evident in a tale where the streets, the food, the people, and the love of family transport the reader into a sweeping and breathtaking journey to the past. This is an extraordinary story that is both epic and intimate.
