The acclaimed author of A Train in Winter returns with the final volume in her Resistance Quartet, which tells the true story of the women of the partisan resistance who fought against Italyâs fascist regime during World War II.
What The Reviewers Say
... meticulous research and eye for human detail.
... [a] gripping story.
... the book has a huge supporting cast: some are familiar because of later literary exploits (Primo Levi, Natalia Ginzurg and Oriana Fallaci), but even the minor characters—like the stubbornly kind nun of the city’s gruesome prison—are memorably portrayed.
Dramatic, heartbreaking and sweeping in scope, Ms. Moorehead’s book charts the experiences of these women in the wider context of the war in Italy.
