Description

Under a Broken Sky: The Untold Love Story from the Darkest Days of WWII In the midst of war, two hearts beat against the odds. Corfu, 1943, is a place of fear and uncertainty, where the Nazis are dragging Jews from their homes under the cover of night. Rosa's father holds on to hope that they will be spared, but the whispers of deportation grow louder. When he demands she end her relationship with Alvertos, a Greek Christian and the love of her life, Rosa is forced to make an impossible choice. Disowned and disgraced, Rosa faces an uncertain future, one that may mean she will never see her family again. She and Alvertos secretly marry, forging a bond that defies the hatred around them. But staying in Corfu means certain death. Forced to flee to the mountains, they face tragedy, impossible choices, and sacrifices that could tear them apart forever. Fifty years later, Rosa is forced to confront the memories she has kept hidden. An invitation to the unveiling of a memorial in Corfu brings back the scars of war, and the love, sacrifice, and unimaginable loss that defined her past.
