Two sisters, Amelia and Simona Lillostra, share a secret. One so distressing to them it is never to be revealed.
What they didn’t count on is a young Russian man entering their lives, a man related to Amelia’s Russian lover from WWII. When TV anchor, Larissa Mina meets Alexey Dubrovsky at an awards night, neither has any idea there is a secret in both their pasts. What is this dark family secret and why were two loving sisters torn apart?
The Decision They Made is set in Italy, Russia and Australia. The secret that tears two loving sisters apart is revealed, and it is this secret that shakes the family to its core.
Will the two sisters, who haven't spoken for 40 years ever talk again? Will Larissa and Alexey be together or will the secret tear them apart as well? This dysfunctional family saga charts the lives of two families as they navigate what the secret brings up for them. Their emotions are challenged in ways they never expected, as are their relationships.
Amelia and Simona made a decision during WWII that affects their families lives in 1980 and beyond.
