Synopsis taken from the web
Against the backdrop of an Italy besieged by fascism and the Germans, love between Bianca and Goran is born inside the Ferramonti concentration camp. She is a fascist and he is a Jew, they live their story with ardor between fears and subterfuges. Will their passion be able to go beyond anti-Semitism, racial laws, stereotypes, prejudices?
Review
This is the first work of the author, who is passionate about history, specifically, the Second World War and the Shoah.
In addition to the conflict throughout Italy and the resulting turmoil, the author tells us about an internment camp that is little talked about in books, that of Ferramonti in Tarsia, Calabria. By delving deeper into your reading you get to the heart of everyday life. You notice the position of women within the regime, the solidarity between the camp and the villagers, without difference in class, class, religion, you notice the heart of the Calabrians, despite the restrictions.
A voice prevails and makes space among other problems, it is the female condition both in the
scale of the fascist hierarchy than in the social one.
The protagonist Bianca, despite herself, is registered in the fascist register, because she is the granddaughter of the mayor
that of her demands help, right from her, educated, and physically perfect.
She is the spokesperson of the mayor, she has to settle many issues within the camp.
Her first visit to Ferramonti did not have an easy impact.
“...I felt like I was among pigs, with all due respect for a pigsty in comparison
she is a royal”
The povs alternate, giving a complete vision, both from an introspective point of view and from lively and realistic dialogues. Furthermore, the inclusion of accurate descriptions of the places leads to a quick and easy to understand read. I noticed some speech in Calabrian dialect, but just a few sentences, which make some passages more powerful.
Then we find the love story, experienced with apprehension by both. She, Bianca, a fascist Catholic, he, Goran, a Jew, an Italian doctor. In the context of that Italy taken by the fascists by the SS and by all those collaborators who sailed in disguise, the hope, even if almost impossible, of a love emerges. A ribbon with little roses, in a completely dark and black context, black like the uniforms that Bianca often had to wear.
“...if not today, it will be tomorrow, but even in ten or twenty years I will await our happiness”
Caputo tells of friendship. An unconditional brotherhood. Probably consolidated by events, and by the desire to improve oneself and others. Around the main actors, Bianca and Goran, there is a carousel of characters willing to give their lives to help those who are worse off at that moment, in this case the two clandestine lovers.
I end by pointing out that the ending must be experienced. Each reader will draw their own conclusions. I found this reading consistent with the genre to which it was assigned. It is clear that for every page, for every word there is a search, there is a testimony, many references to events that actually happened. A meticulous work that will surely bear good fruit.
CONCLUSIONS
A sentimental historical novel, not only that, but an emotional and introspective journey.
ADJECTIVE
Engaging

Five questions to the author.
I would have liked to know Pietro Rivetti better. It was studied in depth, but not enough.
You are passionate about history, how long will it take to have the first draft of this novel?
Did the pink story come first, or did you want to delve deeper into Ferramonti who is rarely mentioned in history books, and the pink thread came second?
What power did the EC have in the context of the publication of the book? I mean, she intervened a lot
about editing, about story. Did you look for her after you finished the novel or before?
