ABOUT THE BOOK

ETERNAL

#1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR LISA SCOTTOLINE OFFERS A SWEEPING AND SHATTERING EPIC OF HISTORICAL FICTION FUELED BY SHOCKING TRUE EVENTS, THE TALE OF A LOVE TRIANGLE THAT UNFOLDS IN THE HEART OF ROME…IN THE CREEPING

SHADOW OF FASCISM.

_What war destroys, only love can heal._ Elisabetta, Marco, and Sandro grow up as the best of friends despite their differences. Elisabetta is a feisty beauty who dreams of becoming a novelist; Marco the brash and athletic son in a family of professional cyclists; and Sandro a Jewish mathematics prodigy, kind-hearted and thoughtful, the son of a lawyer and a doctor. Their friendship blossoms to love, with both Sandro and Marco hoping to win Elisabetta’s heart. But in the autumn of 1937, all of that begins to change as Mussolini asserts his power, aligning Italy’s Fascists with Hitler’s Nazis and altering the very laws that govern Rome. In time, everything that the three hold dear–their families, their homes, and their connection to one another–is tested in ways they never could have imagined. As anti-Semitism takes legal root and World War II erupts, the threesome realizes that Mussolini was only the beginning. The Nazis invade Rome, and with their occupation come new atrocities against the city’s Jews, culminating in a final, horrific betrayal. Against this backdrop, the intertwined fates of Elisabetta, Marco, Sandro, and their families will be decided, in a heartbreaking story of both the best and the worst that the world has to offer. Unfolding over decades, _Eternal_ is a tale of loyalty and loss, family and food, love and war–all set in one of the world’s most beautiful cities at its darkest moment. This moving novel will be forever etched in the hearts and minds of readers.

PRAISE FOR _ETERNAL_

Indie Next Pick

Library Reads Selection Good Morning America “Must Read Book of March” from Zibby Owens Library Journal Starred Review A Bustle Most Anticipated Book of March 2021 “At its heart, _Eterna_l is a beautiful, heartbreaking, yet ultimately uplifting love story. Meticulously researched, this riveting World War II-era novel explores what happens when beautiful Elisabetta must choose between lifelong best friends Sandro and Marco. As they get caught up in the madness that overtakes Italy when it becomes a satellite of Hitler and the Third Reich, each must make a gut-wrenching choice that determines the course of the rest of their lives. Action-packed and haunting, _Eternal _will stay with you for a long time after you finish reading it. I loved this book!” Karen Robards, author of _The Black Swan of Paris _ “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, #1 _New York Times_ bestselling author of _Before We Were Yours_ and _The Book of Lost Friends_ “I devoured _Eternal_ in much the same way and for many of the same reasons that I savored _The English Patient, Atonement_, or _Corelli’s Mandolin_. Lisa Scottoline has written 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, #1 _New York Times_ bestselling author of _Midwives_ and _The Flight Attendant_ “Lisa Scottoline is a magnificent storyteller._ Eternal _is a triangular story of first love, told against the backdrop of WWII in Rome, that is both terrifying and magical; three young people at one of the worst times in history are filled with love, hate, fear, rage, and at the end, survival and hope._ Eternal_ is brilliantly written. Scottoline hits new heights in this spellbinding tale of decades-old family secrets and rips apart the fragility of first loves. I was pulled in from the first page by the lives of Scottoline’s characters as they tried to make their way through events beyond their control in this richly detailed story that makes you feel like you’re right alongside them.” Andrew Mayne, author of _The Naturalist_ and _The Girl Beneath the

Sea_

_“Eternal _is remarkable historical fiction that brings to life Rome in the years leading up to and during WWII on the shoulders of unforgettable characters caught up on all sides of terrible events spinning beyond their control. Scottoline’s research is impeccable, her storytelling is propulsive, and the emotional times she describes are deep, moving, and yes, eternal.” Mark Sullivan, bestselling author of _Beneath a Scarlet Sky_ “Scottoline’s _Eternal_ is a gripping story of suffering and survival.  It unspools at a heart-stopping pace,  yet each page resonates with emotions: fear, hope, sorrow, yearning, love, empathy, sympathy, and, ultimately, joy.  The book lives up to its title.  It will echo in the minds of readers for a long time.” Sandra Brown, #1 _New York Times_ bestselling author of _Thick as

Thieves_

“In _Eternal_, Lisa Scottoline expands her formidable talents to World War II Italy and the heartwarming tale of three families whose intersecting worlds are torn apart. Scottoline captures the tragic beauty of wartime Rome through the eyes of unforgettable characters with whom readers will hope and mourn and cheer. A passionate story of friendship, loyalty, and unbridled heroism.” Pam Jenoff, bestselling author of _The Lost Girls of Paris_ “_Eternal_ brings to vivid life the drama and tragedy of a dark chapter in history that is still not widely known, though it took place in the heart of Rome, one of the most popular cities in the world. The novel’s protagonists—Elisabetta, Marco, and Sandro—are unforgettable, and through their story, we can better understand the moral and ethical dilemmas inherent in the complex, yet eternal, struggle against fascism and barbarism, and for justice and

love.”

Dr. Stanislao Pugliese, Fulbright Scholar, professor of Modern European History, Queensboro UNICO Distinguished Professor of Italian and Italian-American Studies at Hofstra University, and author of _Bitter Spring: A Life of Ignazio_ “In this immensely readable, big-hearted novel, Lisa Scottoline paints a vivid picture of life in WWII-era Rome before, during, and after the Fascist occupation. With characters who change and grow and enough twists and turns to keep you guessing, _Eternal _is a blockbuster with cinematic intensity. I flew through the pages!” Christina Baker Kline, #1 _New York Times_ bestselling author of _Orphan Train_ and _The Exiles_ “The master storyteller Lisa Scottoline is at the height of her powers with _Eternal. _This magnificent epic is the story of  three childhood friends who come of age during World War II Italy. You are with them in the worst of times as they navigate their lost dreams. You will root for their survival as they find redemption in a post-war world they must build with hope. Love. Faith. Friendship. Courage. It’s all here and it is essential reading.” Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of _Lucia, Lucia_ and _The

Shoemaker's Wife_

“What Elena Ferrante did with her Neapolitan Quartet, Scottoline does for war-time Rome: brings it to life as the city is ripped apart by men in power and barely held together by the courage and decency of those who stand against them. _Eternal_ is a must read.”

Lorenzo Carcaterra

“At its heart, _Eterna_l is a beautiful, heartbreaking, yet ultimately uplifting love story. Meticulously researched, this riveting World War II-era novel explores what happens when beautiful Elisabetta must choose between lifelong best friends Sandro and Marco. As they get caught up in the madness that overtakes Italy when it becomes a satellite of Hitler and the Third Reich, each must make a gut-wrenching choice that determines the course of the rest of their lives.

GHOSTS OF HARVARD

EARLY PRAISE

“_Ghosts of Harvard_ is written with a masterly, focused hand, belying the fact that this is Serritella’s debut novel. The pages burn with frenetic energy and are peopled by memorable, compelling characters. The tension is palpable, the twists and surprises perfectly timed and the stakes as high as humans should be asked to endure. The end result, a novel you will long remember and characters you will want to see again. A triumph in every respect.” —#1 _NEW YORK TIMES_ BESTSELLING AUTHOR DAVID BALDACCI “Wow, what a lively, compelling, and intoxicating debut. _Ghosts of Harvard_ is so many things—a rumination on grief, a glimpse behind the ivory walls of a famous institution, a poignant look at mental illness, and a powerful story about the ghosts that haunt us all. Francesca Serritella is my new ‘go-to’ author.” —#1 _NEW YORK TIMES_ BESTSELLING AUTHOR HARLAN COBEN “Every time I thought I knew where _Ghosts of Harvard_ was heading, I turned out to be wrong. Part mystery, part ghost story, part psychological thriller, this novel is all entertainment.” —#1 _NEW YORK TIMES_ BESTSELLING AUTHOR JODI PICOULT
