Thank you Mark Sullivan for introducing Pino Lella to the world! What an amazing story of courage set in Italy during WWII. Yet another area I knew little of during the war (How did I not know all that about Mussolini?).
At times it read like an action film, intertwined with a love story and the evils and horrors of the war; especially when your country, your town, your neighborhood IS the battlefield.
Goodreads: Based on the true story of a forgotten hero; the epic tale of one young man’s incredible courage and resilience during one of history’s darkest hours.
Quotes: "'Music. Wine. A cigar. The small luxuries of life are how we survive what the mind can't fathom.'"
"'...by opening our hearts, revealing our scars, we are made human and flawed and whole.'""...the earth did not know war,...nature would go on no matter what horror one man might inflict on another."
"'Life is change, constant change, and unless we are lucky enough to find comedy in it, change is nearly always a drama, if not a tragedy.'"
