The Italian Ballerina by Kristy Cambron Book Summary

At the height of the Nazi occupation of Rome, an unlikely band of heroes comes together to save innocent lives in this breathtaking World War II novel based on real historical events.

Rome, 1943. With the fall of Italy’s Fascist government and the Nazi regime occupying the streets of Rome, British ballerina Julia Bradbury is stranded and forced to take refuge at a hospital on Tiber Island. But when she learns of a deadly sickness sweeping through the quarantine wards—a fake disease known only as Syndrome K—she is drawn into one of the greatest cons in history. Alongside hospital staff, friars of the adjoining church, and two Allied medics, Julia risks everything to rescue Jewish Italians from the deadly clutches of the Holocaust. Soon a little girl who dreams of becoming a ballerina arrives at their door, and Julia is determined to reunite the young dancer with her family—if only she would reveal one crucial secret: her name.

Present Day. Delaney Coleman recently lost her grandfather—a beloved small-town doctor and World War II veteran, so she returns home to help her aging parents. When a mysterious Italian woman reaches out claiming to own one of the family’s precious heirlooms, Delaney is compelled to travel to Italy and uncover the truth of her grandfather’s hidden past. With the help of the woman’s skeptical but charming grandson, Delaney learns of a Roman hospital that saved hundreds of Jewish people during the war. Soon, everything Delaney thought she knew about her grandfather comes into question.

Based on true accounts of the invented Syndrome K sickness, The Italian Ballerina journeys from the Allied storming of the beaches at Salerno to the London ballet stage and the war-torn streets of World War II Rome, exploring the sometimes heart-wrenching choices we must make to find faith and forgiveness, and how saving a single life can impact countless others.

Good But Character Confusion. I loved the history. But had a hard time distinguishing between all the characters - By the time I was in two or three chapters with other characters, I’d forgotten who the first ones were, etc. It wasn’t until the last third of the book that I could keep everyone straight and knew who they were. Otherwise, I liked the story.

For Historical Fiction Lovers. A duel time period book that will transport you to Rome, London, and Starlight, Indiana during WWll and Starlight, Indiana and Rome present day. Both time lines include Delaney’s grandfather, Court Coleman, who was a medic in Rome during WWII. After Court’s death, Delaney learns about his life during WWII. He was a WWII veteran that would not talk about his experience. Delaney and her parents find out through his will, a family in Rome was demanding some of his heirlooms. This was a shock to Delaney and her parents. Delaney speaks to the Italians on a call and is invited to Rome to further discuss who will get the heirlooms. Will they be able to hold onto these heirlooms or will they be forced to hand them over? Julia is a Ballerina living in London. When the war begins, many of the ballet companies were shut down, but she is given the opportunity to be a part of a traveling company. What will she encounter during this time of war? Who will she help? This heartfelt book will have you turning the pages to find out their fates and how Court and Julia are connected. Such a wonderful story that is full of the unexpected. A well researched book perfect for those who like to read Historical Fiction. Be sure to add this to your TBR list. A great book club pick as well!
