(translated by Stephen Sartarelli)
I did wonder whether I would enjoy a book that included military strategy as part of its story but I loved it. It is an elegantly written book that combines romance and the attempt to apply military strategy to life. Set in Sicily after the war, the main protagonist (Count Terzo) is a military scholar who cares for his mysterious wife and becomes embroiled in the affair of two young lovers and the politics of the island.
