11 Warten Way

Two journeys, bound by generations, shaped by history.


In 1940s Italy, Ottie’s life is defined by family loyalty and the demands of her domineering father. Sent to work in a British munitions factory near Positano, she finds herself drawn to Hal, a soldier grappling with the horrors of war. As their forbidden love grows, Ottie is forced to confront the expectations of her family and the brutal realities of a country at war.


Decades later, Fi’s life feels unmoored after losing her beloved grandmother. Drawn to Italy under the guise of returning a family keepsake, she retraces Ottie’s wartime journey, searching for answers and a sense of belonging. 


What happens when the echoes of one life guide the steps of another? 


11 Warten Way is a sweeping historical family saga about the sacrifices we make, the stories we inherit, and the courage it takes to find our way home.
