Historical novel
In 1799, Tuscany is in flames: in Arezzo, the Viva Maria uprising erupts against the French occupation. Guillaume, a hussar officer, is wounded and saved by Lea, a young Jewish woman. Between them, an impossible love is born, hindered by war and prejudice. Together, they face escapes, betrayals, and losses — but also an unexpected chance for redemption. In a Europe shaken by Napoleon and the great events of history, two very different souls search for a possible future, against all odds. The novel is now available for purchase online!
