"As war swept across Europe in 1940, the idyllic life of Fey von Hassell seemed a world away from conflict. The daughter of Hitler's ambassador to Italy, Fey lived with her Italian aristocrat husband in a castle on an estate in northern Italy. But with Fascism approaching its zenith, Fey's peaceful existence with her two young sons is threated [sic] when her father and husband make the difficult decision to resist the Nazis--a choice that maroons Fey alone in Nazi-occupied Italy and leads to a foiled plot to kill them F̈ührer, bringing the Gestapo to Fey's doorstep. Suffused with Catherine Bailey's signature atmospheric prose, 'A Castle in Wartime' tells the unforgettable story of the bravery and fortitude of one family who collectively and individually sacrificed everything to resist the Nazis from within." - page [4] of cover
