Title: though fiction, the human spirit comes through
Review: As you read this book, take heed of the warning given to a girl in the first pages "Save your tears, you may need them later."It is a powerful, moving story. I learned a lot about Italy during WWII...partisans and citizens, especially.For a synopsis, read the publisher's reviews.In my opinion, you do, however, as a reader, sometimes need a character list. Fortunately, it is provided before the first pages of the novel.As I got used to bouncing between characters, I began to see the thread that bound them all together. By the time I finished this novel, all were woven together.And, when the book is finished, you will have need of the tears you saved.
