That summer in Ischia
by Penny Feeny

Liddy & Helena are childhood friends working as au pairs on the Italian island of Ischia in the summer of 1979. They hadn't counted on a kidnapped child, dangerous love affairs & the police - & how they would betray each other. 25 years later, Liddy runs into a figure strikingly reminiscent of Helena: it's Allie, her daughter.
