A war-torn city. A stolen masterpiece. Two lives in the balance…
Italy, 1940. With Florence on the cusp of war, Il Scorpione, the no-nonsense Englishwomen of the city, find their genteel livelihoods under grave threat by the approach of the Nazis. Tea rooms and bookshops are closed by the Fascists, and the women are forced to join the war effort.
Desperate to help in any way that she can, Angelina Leone, expert art-historian and the half-Italian niece of Il Scorpione’s founder makes a deal with the devil. To guarantee her beloved Aunt Agatha, the only family she has, safe passage across the city, Lina must authenticate the art ruthlessly stolen from Jewish families. But when she comes across a priceless portrait – one that she cannot bear to see seized by the Germans – Lina declares the masterpiece a fake. But in doing so, will she set off a chain of events with consequences more deadly than she could ever imagine …
©2025 Tessa Harris (P)2025 HarperCollins PublishersReseñas de la Crítica
'A riveting read, with a wonderful cast of characters. Tessa depicts wartime Florence with such loving detail, I felt as if I was actually there. The story of those who risked everything to save the artworks is absolutely gripping, while the thwarted romance had me rooting for the lovers at every turn. It’s a thrilling story, full of heart in mouth moments' THERESA HOWES
'This slick, sophisticated unforgettable love story, set in Florence, had me completely gripped. I couldn’t put it down. Fast paced, moving and brilliantly researched. You are drawn immediately into the sinister world of Italy on the cusp of war. Five star read' CAROLINE MONTAGUE
'A Room with a View meets The Monument Men in this thrilling chase across war-torn Florence' SARAH STEELE
'Based on real events, this is a suspenseful novel of bravery and determination in the face of Nazi greed. Tessa Harris gives us a world of heightened passions – the beauty of art, a constant sense of danger, and a desperate romance that simmers beneath it all. Highly recommended' DEBORAH SWIFT
'Intrigue and drama on every page – just when you think the stakes can't get any higher or the action more intense, they do! Fabulous' KATHLEEN McGURL

Set in the 1860s, The Leopard tells the spellbinding story of a decadent, dying Sicilian aristocracy threatened by the approaching forces of democracy and revolution. The dramatic sweep and richness of observation, the seamless intertwining of public and private worlds, and the grasp of human frailty imbue The Leopard with its particular melancholy beauty and power, and place it among the greatest historical novels of our time.
