Description
Called to Nazi-occupied Italy in 1943, a German photographer and an American stenographer hunt for priceless masterpieces before they are destroyed by Hitler, in this pulse-pounding adventure inspired by the incredible true story of the Monuments Women, the Fifth Army WACs and the looted Florentine art collections during World War II
Description
Summer, 1943. Eva Brunner is taking photographs of Nazi-looted art hidden in the salt mines of the Austrian hinterland. Across the ocean in Connecticut, Josephine Evans works as a typist at the Yale Art Gallery. When both women are called to Italy, neither imagines she will hold the fate of some of the world's greatest masterpieces torn from the Uffizi Galleries and other Florentine art collections in her hands. As Italy turns from ally to enemy, and Hitler's plan to destroy irreplaceable monuments and works of art becomes frighteningly clear, Eva and Josephine race against the clock-- and each other-- to save the collection. But at what cost? -- adapted from back cover
