In the Eternal City, no secret stays hidden forever...

Lottie Archer arrives in Rome excited to begin her new job as an archivist. When she discovers a valuable fifteenth-century painting, she is drawn to find out more about the woman who left it behind, Nina Lawrence.

Nina seems to have led a rewarding and useful life, restoring Italian gardens to their full glory following the destruction of World War Two. So why did no one attend her funeral in 1978?

In exploring Nina's past, Lottie unravels a tragic love story beset by the political turmoil of post-war Italy. And as she edges closer to understanding Nina, she begins to confront the losses in her own life.

Reviews for Two Women in Rome

'Elizabeth Buchan's new novel transports us to Rome in the 1970s and Rome today... a tangled net of sex and espionage. If you enjoy a good spy story set in the alluring world of La Dolce Vita, Buchan's gripping read will not disappoint.' - Carol Drinkwater 'Impeccable writing and a fascinating exploration of women's lives. A wonderfully enigmatic and vivid read, I couldn't recommend this novel more highly.' - E.C. Fremantle 'A feast for the senses - love, intrigue, danger and tragedy set against the swooning beauty of the Eternal City... Her most stunning novel yet.' - V. B. Grey 'An exquisite story about the beauty of art and the secrets that lie beneath all our surfaces. Elizabeth Buchan's new novel is both tensely plotted and utterly immersive.' - Jane Thynne 'Elegant and atmospheric, with two complex interlocking stories than join past and present. An excellent read.' - Fanny Blake
