Strangers in Sicily

On 9th July 1943 Allied forces launched the greatest invasion the world had known upon Sicily, a small island disfigured by grinding poverty and the depredations of the Mafia.

As the fighting unfolded, a young British soldier and an Anglo-Italian woman met by chance and reached an unusual understanding. In the two days they were to spend together she would assist his attack upon German soldiers who had killed his friend. Meanwhile he would support her revenge upon an abusive Mafia hoodlum.

In the event, both parties became committed to more than they had bargained for.
