Praise For This Book


"An accomplished historical novel that is both seeped in period detail and full of relatable characters.... Scottoline is a master at ramping up the suspense."-Washington Post

"In this book of her heart, Lisa Scottoline delivers what her readers expect and so much more, fast-paced intrigue, but also an authentic, tender coming of age tale of three best friends navigating the complexities of fascism, war, political and family strife and romantic competition."-Lisa Wingate, author of Before We Were Yours and The Book Of Lost Friends

"Eternal feels so real you can almost taste the cappelletti, as you get lost in the pages on your glorious and heart-wrenching trip to Italy."-Martha Hall Kelly, author of Lilac Girls and Sunflower Sisters

"Powerful and absorbing...at the heart of the novel is an enduring message, that what's perhaps most heroic in any life is to love fiercely and completely, in spite of loss and betrayal, and even beyond death."-Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife and When the Stars Go Dark

"With characters who change and grow and enough twists and turns to keep you guessing, Eternal is blockbuster with cinematic intensity."-Christina Baker Kline, author of Orphan Train and The Exiles

"Make a plate of fettuccine, pour a glass of red wine, and settle in with this captivating tale. You will cry tears of sadness and joy. Scottoline's Italian heritage combined with all her diligent research will keep this story in readers' hearts."--Library Journal (starred review)

"A beautiful, heartbreaking, wrenching love story set in the Second World War. It's alive with characters I cared about deeply - including the remarkable city of Rome, itself - and their courage in the face of Fascism."-Chris Bohjalian, author of Midwives and The Flight Attendant
