Description

In 1944, war-torn Italy is a place of turmoil and uncertainty. For Contessa and Ettore Saforo, their home is no longer a sanctuary, but a fragile refuge from the turbulent politics that surround them. As Tito's Yugoslav Army threatens their German-held town, Ettore finds himself in a desperate fight for survival, with neither side willing to forgive those who have aided the enemy. His wife and children must flee in search of a better life as displaced persons, leaving behind the meagre existence their town can offer. This novel is a powerful account of Italian migration to Australia after World War II, exploring the struggles of families like Ettore's to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of devastation.
