Two Women in Rome

A beautifully atmospheric new tale from the prize-winning, bestselling novelist Elizabeth Buchan. In the Eternal City, no secret stays hidden forever... Lottie Archer arrives in Rome excited to begin her new job as an archivist. When she discovers a valuable fifteenth-century painting, she is drawn to find out more about the woman who left it behind, Nina Lawrence. Nina seems to have led a rewarding and useful life, restoring Italian gardens to their full glory following the destruction of World War Two. So why did no one attend her funeral in 1978? In exploring Nina's past, Lottie unravels a tragic love story beset by the political turmoil of post-war Italy. And as she edges closer to understanding Nina, she begins to confront the losses in her own life. Praise for Elizabeth Buchan: 'It's a gem of a book... Beautiful, elegant.' Marian Keyes 'Intricately plotted and beautifully written.' Katie Fforde 'An amazing, emotive, heartbreaking but also ultimately uplifting novel. I really loved it.' Laura Barnett

Ineta Poliscenko

Beautifull scenario and captivating story of one woman learning all about the other one. Definitely not what I was expecting when staring the book. 
 Couple of details and character movements didn't tie up nicely at the end and that left me quite disappointed with whole build up. And the lack of character development also left sour aftertaste.

Two Women in Rome by Elizabeth Buchan has Lottie in the present and Nina in 1978.  We go between the two times as Lottie learns more about Nina and why she died.

This story has secrets, lies and miscommunication, all set in the beautiful city of Rome.  I really enjoyed the story for both Lottie and Nina.  It's a mystery book, and felt very evocative of Rome.
