Abandoned as a child in Los Angeles in 1931, dust bowl refugee Sally Brady convinces a Hollywood movie star to adopt her, and grows up to be an effervescent gossip columnist secretly satirising Europe's upper crust. By 1940, saucy Sally is conquering Fascist-era Rome with cheek and charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA good deed leaves Sally stranded in wartime Italy, brandishing a biting wit, a fake passport, and an elastic sense of right and wrong. To save her friends and find her way home through a land of besieged castles and villas, Sally must combat tragedy with comedy, tie up pompous bureaucrats in their own red tape, force the cruel to be kind, and unravel the mystery, weight, and meaning of family. Heir to Odysseus's wiles and Candide's optimism, Sally Brady is a heroine for the 21st century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48243950190828,"sku":"9781250881625","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781250881625-sally-brady-s-italian-adventure-1.jpg?v=1787991097"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/christina-lynch.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
