Mmmmmm book. It is so dense with characters and history and stories. Some books I read I think could have been written in the same time it takes to read them. This book seems so intricately worked and researched and the characters so carefully built that I cannot envision the writing of it. [in the back of the book there is a bit of interview the the author and she says it took 7 years]
The book takes place in three years, '43-'45, mostly in Italy occupied by Germans and is the story of jews and those who hid jews, partisans, fascistii, republicani, and those shape shifters who created and shed identities as required to assist in the survival of italians.
