This is a book I won't soon forget.

[ Edited ]

"Beneath a Scarlet Sky:  A Novel."  Author is Mark Sullivan.

 

I just finished it on my Kindle and I highly recommend it.  The story is set in Northern Italy (Milan, Lake Como, the Alps, etc.)  during the last two-three years of the Second World War when the Germans took over the area around Milan.

 

A young Italian man, Pino Lella, becomes a hero and a spy.

 

Please check it out; I think  you will enjoy the story.  It's quite fascinating.

hi @Big Sister - I own this book and it's been on my Kindle for quite a while. I totally forgot about it. Thanks so much for the reminder, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much!

 

PS What are you reading on these days? Did you get your Kindle Keyboard fixed or have you moved on up? Enjoy!

THE NIGHTINGALE by KRISTIN HANNAH.

It is a story about the Germans invading  France and all the brave people fighting against them.  It is a book you will not forget.
