Description

Set against the backdrop of World War II, this heart-wrenching novel tells the story of Bruna and her family's struggle to survive in a small Italian village.

The war has been raging for some time, but its effects are initially distant, with Bruna's idyllic life seemingly untouched. However, as food rationing and shortages take hold, and the Italian people turn against their fascist regime, Bruna's world is turned upside down.

When the retreating Nazis occupy her village, Bruna must confront the harsh realities of war and find a way to help her family stand up to the soldiers. This powerful story explores the human cost of conflict and the resilience of those who refuse to give in.
