Description
In the waning days of World War II, a chance encounter between a young British soldier and an older man in Italy ignites a profound connection that will span decades. As their paths diverge in the aftermath of war, both men are left searching for a way to find each other again, their lives forever altered by that fleeting moment of understanding. Sarah Winman's luminous novel traces the ripples of this encounter across time and geography, exploring how war reshapes lives and relationships while celebrating the resilience of love in its many forms. Set against the backdrop of Italy and the British expatriate community, the narrative weaves together themes of identity, belonging, and the transformative power of human connection. A poignant meditation on loss, longing, and the enduring bonds that transcend time and circumstance.
