Description

Lottie Archer arrives in Rome to start her new job as an archivist. She soon discovers a valuable fifteenth-century painting and becomes determined to learn more about the woman who left it behind, Nina Lawrence. As Lottie delves into Nina's past, she uncovers a tragic love story set against the backdrop of post-war Italy. Nina's life was marked by restoration work in Italian gardens, but her own funeral in 1978 went largely unnoticed. This enigmatic figure seems to have lived a rewarding life, yet her absence from public records raises questions about her final days. In exploring Nina's story, Lottie is forced to confront the losses in her own life. A poignant and introspective tale of love, loss, and identity, Two Women in Rome is a moving exploration of the human experience.
