Book excerpt: Based on the true story of the Caetanis, Italian nobility driven into exile by the rise of fascism, this novel follows this once glittering family to British Columbia's Okanagan Valley. When Ofelia Caetani takes her daughter, Sveva, into seclusion after the death of the duke, they are cared for by their personal secretary, Miss Juul, who brings her own secrets to their twenty-five year retreat from the world. As the stories of these three remarkable women unfurl in unexpected and often tragic ways, Little Fortress is revealed as a graceful and intricate tale of friendship, class, trust, betrayal, and, ultimately, love.
