The Forgotten Italian Restaurant: A breathtaking and absolutely gripping World War Two historical romance
The Forgotten Italian Restaurant is the third and concluding book in author and teacher Barbara Josselsohn’s series, Sisters of War. The story alternates between World War II and the present day. When her sister died, Callie went back to her family home in Connecticut where she found an old, faded menu that sheds light on her grandmother’s secret life in Caccipulia, Italy. This intergenerational story ties Callie to her grandmother and sheds light on the reason her grandmother left Italy. When Callie arrives in the village of Caccipulia with the faded menu she found in Connecticut, she meets a café owner who helps expose the secret that will change everything. The novel explores themes of family, identity, forgiveness, and the courage to heal while vividly depicting Italian wartime life and later day village life.
