Will be reading The Girl from Berlin.   By Ronald Balson

 

When Liam Tag­gart, an inves­ti­ga­tor, and his wife, attor­ney Cather­ine Lock­hart, are invit­ed to din­ner by the own­er of their favorite Ital­ian restau­rant, they are offered a free trip to Tus­cany to help the owner’s aging aunt Gabi who is being evict­ed from her vine­yard by a large cor­po­ra­tion. The cor­po­ra­tion sup­pos­ed­ly holds the title to the land, but Gabi knows that it is hers. Upon their arrival in Tus­cany, she tells Cather­ine and Liam to read a mem­oir by a woman named Ada Baum­garten, a Ger­man vio­lin­ist forced to flee Berlin and set­tle in Bologna, Italy when the Nazis took pow­er. The book chap­ters alter­nate between Ada’s sto­ry and Cather­ine and Liam’s jour­ney through the Ital­ian legal sys­tem as they try to trace the chain of the land title.
