The Secret of Luca | Ignazio Silone
post image
Pickpick

An old man appears in a small town in Abruzzo after WW2.The older locals identify him as Luca who has returned after serving a life sentence in prison for a murder he didn‘t commit.Andrea,a young communist & son of Luca‘s friend, is determined to find out why Luca held on to a secret although revealing it could‘ve set him free.I loved the writing & the way the story is told but found the overall theme - power of love- a bit cheesy.

There‘s currently a kindle deal on this book (set in Naples during WWII) if anyone is interested? It‘s on the International Booker Prize longlist even though I said I wasn‘t going to look at any more longlists and I certainly wasn‘t going to buy any more. 🤦‍♀️ 😂 #internationalbooker

BarbaraBB I bought this one too, I loved his earlier book 4d
Caroline2 @BarbaraBB oh good to know. 😉 4d

Stars in an Italian Sky | Jill Santopolo

Found this in the library, going to Italy soon so it seemed to be there for me. A love story of then and now, Genoa Italy after the war and present day New York. Loved the family aspect, the young love and the decisions in life that are hard to make. Bellisimo

I liked this book. It moved a bit slow at times but a very interesting story based on the author‘s own family.

Purpleness What a beautiful cover! 1mo
