Description

Captain Antonio Corelli, a young Italian officer, is posted to the Greek island of Cephallonia as part of the occupying forces in 1941. Initially ostracised by the locals, he proves himself to be civilised, humorous and a consummate musician. As he forms a connection with Pelagia, the local doctor's daughter, the complexities of their relationship become apparent.

The fragile love between Antonio and Pelagia is set against the backdrop of a war that brings bestial savagery and the lines between invader and defender increasingly to the fore. A poignant and thought-provoking novel, Captain Corelli's Mandolin explores the human experience in the face of conflict and the power of love to transcend even the most trying of circumstances.
