Detailed description:
From the bestselling author of Honeysuckle Season comes a sweeping saga that interweaves the past and present in an epic tapestry of love, war, and loss.
As a hospice nurse, Zara Mitchell has already seen more death than most people will experience in a lifetime. So when her older sister asks her to help care for their ailing grandmother, Zara agrees—despite strained family relationships.
Though pale and tired, Nonna has lost none of her sharp mind. She’s fixated on finding something long forgotten, and she immediately puts Zara to work cleaning out the attic. Unexpectedly, amid the tedium of sifting through knickknacks and heirlooms, Zara also reconnects with a man she’s attracted to but whose complicated past makes romance seem impossible.
But then Zara finds what Nonna was looking for: a wooden chest, an emerald broach, a leather-bound journal. As she immerses herself in stories of heroism and loss set against the backdrop of war-torn Italy in 1943, Zara finds answers to questions she didn’t know she had. And they change everything she thinks she knows about love, regret, and seizing the day.

This book was hard to put down! I fell in love with the characters, and was constantly left wondering what would happen next. Two parallel timelines that intertwine so interestingly truly gave me all the things I needed in a book, romance, suspense, life lessons, etc.
Beautifully written.

The Words We Whisper is set in Italy during the Resistance. I enjoyed the historical bent on this story. I felt I knew the characters intimately.

I’m so glad I’ve discovered Mary Ellen’s books. Each story is unique and filled with amazing characters – and this was no exception. She weaves her story from the present to the past and the great mystery from long ago is finally solved.
I think anyone who loves to get thoroughly entrenched with a book, so much so that you can hardly put it down, will love Mary Ellen’s books. This is my 6th book of hers, and I can hardly wait to read the next one!

Masterful storytelling with characters you care about and a mystery that surprises until the very end. Hard to put down toggling between chapters trying to discover how one story will blend into the other.
With drama in war torn Italy and modern USA I loved a bucket list ending in Rome…so appropriate.

Ich gebe zu, dass ich am Anfang etwas Mühe hatte. Das Buch beginnt im Krieg in Rom – und ich hatte mit einer Zara gerechnet. Aber dann hat es mich in seinen Bann gezogen. Die Erlebnisse von Isabella, Signora Fontana, Aldo, Mia und all den anderen in Rom haben fast körperlich weh getan. Diese furchtbare Zeit.
Die Gegenwart hingegen hat mich mit Respekt und Bewunderung über Zaras Arbeit erfüllt.
Einfach lesen! Auch wenn es ein bisschen an Fiona Valpys A dressmakers gift erinnert, so ist es doch komplett anders.

Excellently narrated with great authenticity. An emotionally surcharged story with romance diffused expertly. Language , style and narration is top class.

I can always count on Mary Ellen Taylor for a good book! I opted for the Kindle Unlimited Audible version while on a weekend road trip and finished it up when I was back home catching up on laundry & cleaning. I listened to 80% of the book and read the last 20%. Both versions were equally captivating. The setting & characters really sprang to life bc the author is so descriptive. Even though this is partially based on WWII, I feel the author is historically and geographically accurate and that makes for a much more enthralling read. Be warned the chapters swap between timelines and between characters, which can get a little frustrating if you’re not paying attention to the chapter titles, but was not an issue for me. I definitely would recommend this book, and all of Mary Ellen Taylor’s other novels, to anyone looking for a wonderful book.

This book was great and I could barely put it down. The only thing that drove me nuts was not having it all in first person. Some chapters were first person and others third. The chapters that weren’t in first person were hard for me to follow.
Otherwise I loved this book! This is my third book by this author and it won’t be my last. If you don’t mind books not in first person this will be a great and much easier read. Guess I just need to read more third person books.
This definitely brought up feelings of loss and other emotions for me. Enjoy!

I loved this book and found that I really felt like I knew the characters. Thank you, John Grisham, for introducing me to them.

This is my 2nd Mary Ellen Taylor book. Her storyline is so compelling, the characters come to-life on the pages. Definitely look forward to the next book
