Title: Stormy Days - Kathrine Kressmann Taylor - book
Summary :
Tuscany, 1960. Amanda Lashe, a young American widow, moves to Florence for a few months with her daughter. But during an excursion in the surrounding hills, a terrible storm breaks out, forcing them to settle temporarily in an isolated village: Rocca al Sole. There they meet the Marquis Eduardo Carleone. Fifteen years earlier, he had lost his wife, brutally murdered by the Nazis who, invading the hills, had massacred women and children. Since that day, the villagers' resentment toward the Germans has never abated. When, on the morning of the storm, they identify one of their torturers among a group of German tourists, the villagers decide to take justice into their own hands. From then on, this isolated village becomes the scene of all tensions. Stormy Days marks Kressmann Taylor's return to his favorite land: the possibility of a pardon for war crimes. But this latest novel also offers us for the first time a magnificent love story.
