An American soldier becomes entangled with a desperate young woman in
occupied Rome in this “superb” novel of postwar Italy (Kirkus
Reviews, starred review). Robert is an American GI in Rome during the
final months of World War II. Lisa is a young woman obliged to work in
Mamma Adele’s on the Via Flaminia. The passion they feel for one
another is fueled by their separate, and equally desperate, needs. But
can love truly exist between victor and vanquished? This classic story
of a poignant affair, set amid the aftermath of war, is as relevant
and moving today as when it was first published in 1949. “Keeps us
guessing to the end. An enthralling narrative, and art of a high
order.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Full of dramatic
conflicts . . . The dialogue is the best I have read in any war
novel.” —The New York Times
