English Summary/英文概要： Sometimes a family’s deepest silences hide the most powerful secrets.
For Mina, a London-based travel writer, the enigmatic silence surrounding her aunt Carmela has become a personal obsession.
Carmela disappeared from her Italian hometown long ago and is mentioned only in fragments and whispers. Mina has resisted prying, respectful of her family’s Sardinian reserve. But now, with her mother battling cancer, it’s time to learn the truth.
In 1952, Simius is a busy Sardinian town surrounded by fertile farms and orchards. Carmela Chirigoni, a farmer’s daughter and talented seamstress, is engaged to Franco, son of the area’s wealthiest family. Everyone agrees it’s a good match. But Carmela’s growing doubts about Franco’s possessiveness are magnified when she meets Captain Joe Kavanagh.
Joe, an American officer stationed at a local army base, is charismatic, intelligent, and married. Hired as his interpreter, Carmela resolves to ignore her feelings, knowing that any future together must bring upheaval and heartache to both families.
As Mina follows the threads of Carmela’s life to uncover her fate, she will discover a past still deeply alive in the present, revealing a story of hope, sacrifice, and extraordinary love.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 有时，一个家庭中最大的秘密隐藏在最深的沉默中。
米娜是一位住在伦敦的旅行作家，她对环绕在她的阿姨卡梅拉周围的神秘沉默很是着迷。
卡梅拉在很久以前从她的意大利家乡消失，并且只在只言片语和传闻中被提及。米娜以前对刺探有所抵触，尊重她家庭对撒丁岛文化的保留。但是现在，随着她的母亲在与癌症作斗争，是时候知道事情的真相了。
1952年，西缪斯是一个热闹的由肥沃的农场和果园环绕着的撒丁岛小镇。卡梅拉乔丽戈妮是一位农民的女儿，也是一位有天赋的女裁缝师，与当地最富有家庭的儿子弗朗哥订婚。每个人都认为他们是天造地设的一对。但是当卡梅拉遇到队长乔卡瓦纳后，她对于弗朗哥占有力不断增多的疑惑被无限的放大。
乔是一位驻扎在当地一家陆军基地的美国军官，他魅力超凡，聪明智慧并且已婚。作为他的翻译，卡梅拉决心无视她的感情，因为她深知他们在一起的未来定会为两个家庭带来巨变和心痛。
当米娜跟随着卡梅拉生活的思路来揭开她的命运，她发现这一过去仍然深深的活在现今，透露出了一个关于希望、牺牲和非凡的爱的故事。(ZT)
