Messina, Mary

Omschrijving

Mirror Images is an historical romantic novel set in the turbulent years of the late 1930s and ‎early 1940s. ‎The drama begins in Mussolini's Italy where it is becoming increasingly apparent to two ‎professional Jewish families that their Fascist leader is following Hitler in ways detrimental to ‎Italian Jews. ‎‎ ‎With the subsequent brutal murder of a young Jewish man, Nicola, for perceived subversive ‎activities, young Dr Pietro is encouraged to emigrate with his young family to the safety of ‎North Queensland. ‎‎ ‎Their tranquility in this new land is threatened, however, when Mussolini joins the Axis ‎powers. In June 1940. ‎Italian Australians become enemy aliens and are randomly interned for their ethnicity and the ‎government's fear of a Fifth Column.‎‎ ‎Through family letters, parallels are drawn between Mussolini's treatment of the Italian ‎Jews and the Australian government's treatment of Italian Australians. ‎‎ ‎Mirror Images is above all a story of enduring love, of stoic determination, of perseverance and ‎resilience in the face of injustice and adversity.
