The Reschen Valley Series: Season 2 - 1937-1949: Books 3 & 4 Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 24 ratings

Sometimes, when you’re trying to determine who you are, what you discover is who you are not.

Bolzano: Reschen Valley Part 3
1937. Northern Italy. New international conflicts loom on the horizon, and Italy must feed its war machine. Angelo Grimani has a plan to keep the Reschen Valley reservoir out of his father’s hands but he needs a local front to succeed. He faces his past and seeks an alliance with Katharina Steinhauser. But when he sees Annamarie, Katharina's daughter, for the first time, Angelo realizes he faces an altogether different conflict.

When you cannot hide from the truth, where do you run? And what if it’s into the arms of your very enemy?

In this third installment of the award-winning historical fiction series, Lucyk-Berger portrays the mounting political pressure from both Hitler’s and Mussolini’s regimes on the South Tyroleans. As Europe braces itself for an inevitable second world war, the Tyroleans in the Reschen Valley pit themselves against giant industrialists, corrupt politicians, and a divided society. An explosive, eye-opening series that tells the story of a famous tourist spot in northern Italy: the Reschen Lake reservoir.

Two Fatherlands: Reschen Valley Part 4
1938. Northern Italy. Angelo puts aside his prejudices and seeks alliances with old enemies; Katharina finds ingenious ways to preserve what is left of her community, and Annamarie wrests herself from the black forces of Nazism with plans to return home. But when Hitler and Mussolini present the Tyroleans with “The Option”, the residents are forced to choose between Italian and German nationhood with no guarantee that they will be able to stay in Tyrol at all!

Angelo, Katharina and Annamarie are trapped on separate fronts, forced to take a stand, but their enemies lurk where they thought was safest. Out of the ruins of war, will they be able to find their way back to one another and pick up the pieces?

This blockbuster finale will keep readers glued to the pages. Readers are calling it, "...engrossing", "...enlightening" and "...both a heartbreaking and uplifting end to this incredible series!"

Dive in and discover the gripping WW2 saga based on a history you never knew. This box set contains Bolzano: Part 3 and Two Fatherlands: Part 4, plus bonus material. Save now on the regular individual retail price!

★★★★★ "Lucyk-Berger is a born storyteller." – Mary Anne Yarde, Coffee Pot Book Club blogger

★★★★★ "Absolutely gripping storytelling. These characters jump off the page and take you to a place too few of us have heard about; a tragic conflict overshadowed by the many atrocities committed during WW2. The Tyroleans were victims of calculated corruption enacted by the two fascist leaders, and Lucyk-Berger has whisked off the dust cover of a popular tourist spot to reveal a dark history and a highly controversial story beneath the Reschen Lake reservoir."

Award-winning historical fiction!

Chrystyna Lucyk-Berger is a Ukrainian-American who transplanted to Austria. She is the granddaughter of Ukrainian partisans and grandparents who survived a Nazi concentration camp.

Born in 1969, she grew up in the culture-rich neighborhood of "Nordeast" Minneapolis, part of the Ukrainian diaspora, and started her writing career with short stories, travel narratives, and poetry. She worked as a journalist and managing magazine editor, before jumping the desk and pursuing her own writing and traveling.

Her books tackle David-vs.-Goliath themes with strong women battling for the Underdogs against a system, be it political, geographical, or industrial. Sometimes all three. "I enjoy discovering the good, the bad, and the ugly in my characters when they come into conflict," she says. "And all of my stories have been inspired by injustices I've discovered along my travels."

The RESCHEN VALLEY series is based on the South Tyrolean-Italian conflict during the interwar period and was inspired by her travels to the Reschen Lake reservoir.

Her collection of short stories, which "reads like a novel", SOUVENIRS FROM KYIV won the silver medal in the IPPY Book Awards 2020 and features six stories inspired by true accounts from WW2 Ukraine. THE WOMAN AT THE GATES she calls her magnum opus and is based on her family in WW2 Ukraine.

THE GIRL FROM THE MOUNTAINS was inspired by an anecdote about a Nazi family from Austria.

Her DIPLOMAT'S WIFE trilogy (2023) follows Kitty Larsson, a U.S. senator's daughter who marries an Austrian diplomat before the Anschluss, only to discover that his family is not what she thought they were. Part spy-thriller, part political-thriller, the series promises a wild romp as Kitty navigates the events of WW2 with her moral compass in hand.

  • Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2022
    I enjoyed this box set of two stories about the same characters and valley joined as one. They flowed one into the next, telling a history unknown to me before. I loved the characters. A great read.
