Every Time We Say Goodbye

When a London playwright's devastating critical reviews tank her career, she escapes to 1950s Rome and finds herself immersed in the glamorous, chaotic world of Italian cinema—where creative passion runs as high as the emotional stakes. As Vivien navigates this vibrant postwar landscape filled with rising stars and legendary directors, she begins to heal from wounds she's carried since World War II, including the mysterious loss of her fiancé. This is a luminous novel about second chances, the transformative power of art, and finally confronting the ghosts we've been running from. If you loved the character depth and historical richness of The Jane Austen Society, this sweeping story of a woman reclaiming her life will absolutely captivate you.
