(11 CDs, 12.5 hours, Unabridged) Marlena de Blasi is an acclaimed food writer and the author of the best-selling memoir
A Thousand Days in Venice. In
Amandine, de Blasi rafts a poignant fiction debut about one girl's search for identity amidst the chaos of WWII.
Amandine was born out of wedlock and then hidden in a French convent by her royal Polish grandmother - who lied to Amandine's mother and said the infant has died. As a child, Amandine is fondly looked after by her governess Solange, yet struggles to accept her orphaned state and longs to put together the missing pieces of her identity. But as war engulfs Europe, Amandine's time to find answers is running out.
