In the Eternal City, no secret stays hidden forever...

Lottie Archer arrives in Rome excited to begin her new job as an archivist. When she discovers a valuable fifteenth-century painting, she is drawn to find out more about the woman who left it behind, Nina Lawrence.

Nina seems to have led a rewarding and useful life, restoring Italian gardens to their full glory following the destruction of World War Two. So why did no one attend her funeral in 1978?

In exploring Nina's past, Lottie unravels a tragic love story beset by the political turmoil of post-war Italy. And as she edges closer to understanding Nina, she begins to confront the losses in her own life.

An amazing, emotive, heartbreaking but also ultimately uplifting novel. I really loved it. * Laura Barnett * Intricately plotted and beautifully written. * Katie Fforde * It's a gem of a book... Beautiful, elegant. * Marian Keyes * A beautiful, evocative love story, a heart-breaking journey into a long-buried past. * David Nicholls on The Museum of Broken Promises * Gripping... This dark story, beautifully written, is shot through with the white heat of first love. * Daily Mail on The Museum of Broken Promises * Buchan writes of young love with a gorgeous tenderness... Enthralling and beautifully written. * The Times on The Museum of Broken Promises *
