Two Women in Rome follows the story of Lottie, a new archivist in Rome. Whilst she is settling into her new life with Tom she stumbles across a 15th century painting that captivates her. She is mesmerised by the painting and wants to know more about the person who left it behind. This discovery fuels Lottie’s inner detective as she embarks on her quest to learn more about Nina.
Whilst Lottie is on her search we are transported back to Italy in the 70’s, where Nina’s story began. Of the two women I have to say that I preferred Nina’s story. The element of mystery surrounding her had me intrigued to read on and I loved the romance element.
Whilst this started off as a bit of a slow read for me I did persevere and I am so pleased I did. As Lottie’s investigation continued it seemed that more and more lies and deceit were coming out of the woodwork! There were a few occasions when I wondered if Lottie could trust anyone!
With Rome as a beautiful backdrop this story is perfect for those who are fans of a slow burn mystery with politics, religion and art at the heart of it.
