Prayer in Time of War - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

By the winter of 1943, the city of Naples has become nothing short of a hell on Earth. Food, happiness and hope are scarce; poverty, misery and desolation are plentiful. Prayer in Time of War tells a story of love in a world without room for romance.

For the British Army, fighting its way from the beaches of Salerno, the squalor of the Neapolitan suburbs comes as a shock. For Private Ernest Green, at just 22, it feels like another world. He is alone in a nightmare landscape, until he catches the gaze of Preghiera. She is the lonely teenage daughter of an embittered old butcher, with dangerous entanglements in the local camorra. But for Ernest, she is a celestial being who enters his world at the very moment he needs her most.

He returns as an elderly widower, 50 years later, with a dream of rekindling their ill-fated love affair and proving that true love never fades.
