5.0 out of 5 stars
Must read for anyone who loves Italy,
By deangelo (MS, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: War in Val D'orcia (Paperback)
A MUST READ for Italophiles! This book gives a wonderful inside look into Italy during WWII. It is Iris Origo's personal diary while living through this time is history. It is astounding to realize the love and concern that she and her husband extended to the Italian people that lived and worked for them. She describes daily events, caring for children, helping escaped Allied prisoners, all of the hardships and events that were part of her life there in Italy. THis book is so moving that it prompted me to go in search of her home, La Foce in Tuscany, to see her house and gardens, walk the paths she walked and see the small cemetery where she and her husband are buried. I highly recommend this book and also her book, Images and Shadows. I only wish I could have met her!
