AS SEEN ON BBC BETWEEN THE COVERS
A true gem of a novel, sparkling with comedy and tragedy, according to the Daily Mail.
In 1941, Captain Antonio Corelli, a young Italian officer, is sent to the Greek island of Kefalonia as part of the occupying forces. Initially rejected by the locals, he proves over time to be civilized, humorous, and an outstanding musician.
When Pelagia, the daughter of the local doctor, discovers that her letters to her fiancé remain unanswered, Antonio and Pelagia grow close, and the workings of an eternal triangle seem inevitable. But can this delicate love survive as the war of brutal ferocity approaches and the lines are drawn between conqueror and defender?
Louis de Bernières is directly linked to Dickens and Evelyn Waugh, as he seems to merely have to look at his world to rush the colors and flavors into reality.
