A dark love story set in wartime Rome from the author of In Love and Your Face for the World to See
Rome, 1944. Robert is a lonely American soldier looking for a girl. Lisa is cold and hungry, obliged to seek work at Mamma Pulcini''s house on the Via Flaminia. Their lives come together in what should be a simple exchange, a temporary arrangement without love or complication. But in a city broken by war, its people defeated, nothing is simple. Based on Alfred Hayes''own experiences of wartime Italy, this spare, searing novel exposes the dark complexities of the relationship between men and women, victor and vanquished.
''Hayes has done for bruised men what Jean Rhys does for bruised women, and they both write heartbreakingly beautiful sentences'' Paul Bailey, Guardian
''Rings true as gold ... every single character in the book is sharp with the infallible stroke of art'' Daily Mail
