Synopsis "One Good Thing"

Italy, 1941. Lili Passigli is studying at the University of Ferrara when Mussolini's Racial Laws deem her of 'inferior' Jewish descent. As Hitler's strength grows, Lili's world begins to shrink around her, with the papers awash in Fascist propaganda and the city walls desecrated with antisemitic slurs. When Germany invades northern Italy, however, Lili and her best friend Esti find themselves alone in Nazi-occupied territory. With the help of the resistance, they flee with Esti's two-year-old son Theo in tow, traveling south toward the Allies and freedom. On this journey through war-torn Italy, they will face untold challenges and devastating decisions.

She discovered this heritage at 15, leading to a decade-long research that culminated in the publication of the work, translated into more than 20 languages and adapted in 2024 as a miniseries by Hulu. The novel was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award in 2017 and won the Connecticut Book Award in 2018.
