Under the Ashes of Rome

By Mrs Simona Federico

Rome, 1941. As Italy slips into the darkness of fascism, the Eternal City becomes the silent stage for forbidden passions, blackmail, and unspoken truths. Gloria Desiderio, a famous actress with a tumultuous past, married to a film producer aligned with the regime, hides deep in her heart the memory of a love never forgotten-Shimon Zynger, a Polish Jewish dissident.
When Shimon is arrested by the OVRA and faces deportation, Gloria defies the established order to save him. But the price will be unbearably high.
As Rome bows under censorship and racial laws, courage and love survive in the folds of history, like embers beneath a heap of ash.
Under the Ashes of Rome is a powerful and lyrical novel about memory and resistance, and the fate of a love that endures through time and the barbarity of war.
