Although he is faced with one nightmare after another, he never loses hope and instead focuses on his dream of one day building a life with Anna after the war.Īlthough this book is very much about World War II, it is extremely relevant for today’s reader. After another twist of fate, his association with the Nazis affords him the opportunity to spy for the Allies inside the German High Command. Worried about Pino’s future, his parents force him to enlist as a German soldier, thinking the move will ensure his survival. But with one devastating blow, his entire existence is soon changed forever. With his home gone, Pino joins an underground railroad that helps Jews escape over the Alps. The son of merchants, he comes from a good family in a trendy neighborhood. Then a chance encounter with a young widow named Anna sends him tumbling head over heels in love. He’d much rather think about jazz, food, romance and hanging out with his little brother and their friends.
When the Nazis come to Milan, he is a normal teenager who wants nothing to do with the war.
