ÆGTE KÆRLIGHED OVERLEVER ALTZara Mitchell arbejder som sygeplejerske på et hospice, og hun kender derfor mere til døden og dens omstændigheder end mange andre. Så da hendes søster beder om hjælp til at tage sig af deres syge bedstemor, siger Zara ja på trods af komplicerede familiebånd.Bedstemor Nonna er ganske vist bleg og træt, men hun er lige så klar i hovedet, som hun altid har været. Fast besluttet på at afdække fortidens hemmeligheder beder hun derfor Zara om at gennemgå alle de støvede nipsting og arvestykker på det gamle loft.Snart finder Zara det, som Nonna søgte efter: En læderindbundet dagbog, der rummer en fortælling om heltemod og kærlighed i det krigshærgede Italien i 1943. Bogen blotlægger fortidens hemmeligheder, og det ændrer alt, hvad Zara troede, hun vidste som sin familie og om sig selv. Pressen skriver:“Taylor håndterer de to tidslinjer perfekt, og hun formår at fremhæve fortidens vigtige indvirkning på nutiden. Hun undersøger komplicerede familiebånd, mens hun også skaber troværdige og stærke karakterer. Læserne vil helt bestemt være godt underholdt.”— Publishers Weekly“En fantastisk blanding af mystik og familiesaga.”                — Historical Novels Review”Det er en af de bedste bøger, jeg har læst i år.”— ***** Goodreads”De ord vi hvisker er en fantastisk fortælling fuld af hjertevarme og heltemod”.—***** Goodreads”En intens og følelsesladet historie om familie, kærlighed, hemmeligheder, selvopofrelse og tilgivelse.”— ***** Goodreads
