Sophie is only a quarter Italian. But that quarter is her charismatic grandfather Cesare, and he has instilled in her a great love of her Italian heritage. So when a journalist starts to investigate Cesare’s war record, Sophie is reluctant to question just how proud she should really be.
She embarks upon a journey into the past which takes her from nineteenth-century Naples to London’s Italian quarter and one of the Second World War’s forgotten tragedies. And along the way she also learns something very important about herself…
