Inspired by real events this was a combo deal with a love letter to Naples Italy and a powerful tribute to those who survived the tremendous forces of WWII during the Nazi Occupation.
What subsequently endures is found within the community, amongst the characters, and within the memories that lingered.As the story gets into the character detail it pulls slowly keeping the narrative at bay as readers become disengaged however, there were several parts that drew one back into the story.
All in all it wasn't a bad read just not something I'd re-read as it took a long time to get through it with very little take away for me concerning the Four Days of Naples uprising.
The entire concept was lost for me in the transition among the nearly 400 pages or so and it became complex with 5 storylines running simultaneously which made it difficult to stay invested.
Thank you to Roland, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
