Description

An enthralling coming-of-age tale beginning on the American home front, where sweet romance blooms against the tide of war. This thrilling drama and military saga will take you from pre-war Chicago to the historic Battle of Anzio in Italy and beyond.

Summer 1940, just before the London Blitz.

When fourteen-year-old Tessa Graham is sent from England to live with the prominent Ardley family in Chicago, she is stifled by the ways of the rich. Until she discovers Chicago's South Side, where a world of jitterbug dancing and the powerful Irish community's intrigues await.

On the University of Chicago campus, eighteen-year-old Anthony Ardley, the sole heir of the Ardley fortune, dutifully embarks on the path his family has set before him. His future is assured if his country can keep the war in Europe at bay.

But when Pearl Harbor falls in flames, even the United States is no longer safe.

In the face of this new reality, what role will Tessa take?

As America gears up for battle, what sacrifices must Anthony make?

What happens when their lives intertwine as the world spins out of control?

"Tessa, I don't know how to swing dance, and I wouldn't be very good at it if I tried. But if you care, I'd like to do a different kind of dance with you."

Why readers love Rose of Anzio:

"Loved, loved, loved this book. This beautiful tale is one of the best I have ever read. It is mesmerizing, enchanting, and sometimes even painful. The characters are good and honorable... and very human. I can't WAIT to read more in the next books of the series." -- Amazon Reviewer ?????

"An amazing page-turner. I bought this book, mostly because many people were recommending it to me. I decided to give it a chance and it did not disappoint. The way Ms. Kang writes her scenes, as well as the blossoming romance between the two main characters, leaves you wanting more of this beautiful story. The dialogues are full of wit and humor which allows the reader to be trapped in the essence of the story. I would highly recommend this book." -- Amazon Reviewer ?????

"FANTASTIC!!! I was sucked into this book from page one. I love historical fiction and have always been interested in the WWII era. This book does not fail to deliver. The author touches beautifully on the differences of lifestyle of the upper and lower classes, the feelings of not belonging and therefore attempting to make yourself invisible, the freeing sensation of escape into your creative talents, the angst of love when not certain those feelings are returned, the divide of those in full support of America's involvement in the war and those who staunchly opposed it, as well as the internal struggle facing those who would be called to go to fight a war they may or may not return from - and if they should return, how whole would they be and what work could they find should they return crippled by injury. Every aspect of this story held me enthralled. I loved every second! I am so glad to have added this to my library and purchase the remaining books in the series. I will return to read these time and time again." -- Amazon Reviewer ?????

"A superb historical coming of age story. Set during WWII, it's a captivating period piece with plenty of drama, self-discovery, politics, history, and romance. Fearing for Tessa Graham's safety as war closes in, her family sends her (from England) to stay in Chicago. There, she is thrust into the unfamiliar world of wealth and privilege- but soon discovers that there is another side to this new society. With music and dancing, romance and coming of age, politics and choices, all interwoven within a social snapshot of the times- makes this quite a captivating read." -- Amazon Reviewer ?????
