gnewt58 reviewed Love And War in the Apennines by Eric Newby
A memorable memoir
5 stars
This is a beautiful homage to rural life and the mid 20th century residents of the Apennines, as much as it is a war story. Newby evokes the spirit of the farms, homes, woodlands and peaks until you can feel the smoke smarting in your eyes, and draws the inhabitants with equal skill. Highly recommended
