"a most powerful story"
TOBIAS JONES, author of THE DARK HEART OF ITALYProduct Description
From the cosmopolitan seaport of Trieste to war-ravaged Verona, Rita's War tells the tragic true story of one woman coming of age against the brutal backdrop of the Second World War. From her sheltered upbringing as a young Jew in the bourgeois surroundings of pre-war Trieste, to her first tentative encounters with the Jewish underground movement, as well as her ill-fated engagement and illicit affair with a charismatic colonel who is also on the run from the fascist authorities. Rita's War is a story of migration and hope, persecution and despair, courage, heroism and betrayal, culminating in the hills above Verona, where Rita finally comes face to face with her Nazi oppressors.
