Description
Karen Campbell's The Sound of the Hours is a moving and complex novel set against the backdrop of World War II. In September 1943, Tuscany, Italy is gripped by fear as German troops occupy the mountains around Barga, a hilltop town where Vittoria Guidi lives. As her country is torn in two, Vittoria's conscience is also divided, and she must choose between loyalty to her father and her mother, both of whom hold different views on the war. In this tumultuous time, Vittoria meets Frank Chapel, a young American soldier fighting with the Buffalo soldiers. Their growing love becomes a source of hope in a chaotic world, but it is also threatened by prejudice and the harsh realities of war. This beautifully written novel explores themes of loyalty, identity, and the power of human connection in the face of adversity. As Vittoria navigates her complicated past and uncertain future, she must confront the difficult choices that will shape her destiny. With its richly detailed setting and deeply nuanced characters, The Sound of the Hours is a powerful and emotional read.
