This was the most captivating novel I have read in ages. The story of Pino Lella is a coming of age story amid the worst of circumstances; the second World War. It is based on a true story of a young Italian boy with tremendous courage, tenacity and heart. I was often on the edge of my seat while reading it; unable to believe the horrendous things that Pino witnessed, the bravery he showed and his ability to continue doing the “right thing” through it all. I have been recommending this book to anyone who will listen. It's a “must read”.
