Shadow Song

Shadow Song is set during a turbulent year in Rome, from July 1943 to June 1944. It is a novel but its backdrop is real and based on accounts of those who were there.

Coming soon: Shadow Song, published in Italian … Canzone dall’ombra

About the Author

Anita read Jurisprudence at Brasenose College, Oxford and her career subsequently led her from law into music. She has been fortunate to spend a large amount of time in Rome, becoming enthralled by the personal accounts and stories of the city’s inhabitants. Rome’s ancient history is well-known, its recent past less so, and this gave her the idea for Shadow Song.

The Route to Rome

It is the autumn of 1943. Imagine picking your way in the dark, down uneven stone steps to the cove. This is the first part of your journey from Ischia, through German-held territory, to occupied Rome.
