A promise will divide them, and then the Second World War may forever thwart their love. Nina Argentová does not want a traditional life as an Italian peasant woman. As the daughter of a stubborn midwife, she is determined to decide her own fate. However, when her brother emigrates to America, she promises her mother that she will never leave her. When a childhood friend, Pietro Pante, briefly returns to their mountain town, a spark ignites between them. At the same time, Mussolini stirs political tension in the country. Just as the relationship between the two young people deepens, Pietro must return to work in the American coal mines. Nina is torn between the desire to go after him and her responsibilities to Italy and her mother. As Mussolini's fascists plunge the entire country into chaos and German Nazis terrorize her hometown, each day becomes a struggle for survival. A shared future with Pietro begins to look very uncertain, as they lose contact, and Nina's dreams of a future life are threatened by Nazi occupation and an enemy she must face completely alone... The plot of the novel 'By the Light of the Moon' describes two decades full of emotions, triumphs, and falls. It is a story of incredible female resilience in the face of rising fascism and the outbreak of the Second World War...
