Pino Lella is an Italian teenage boy who spends his days doing what typical teenagers frolicking with friends and fawning over girls. As the destruction of war courses through the city of Milan, Pino loses his family home to the Allied bombs and is obliged to help Jews escape by traversing the Alps. Later on, he falls in love with a beautiful woman named Anna in whom he finds solace from the horrors of the war.

Pino's safety is his parents' top priority, so between being assigned to the frontlines or joining the Nazis, Pino's parents choose the latter. He is forced by his parents to enlist in the German army. After being injured in combat, Pino is recruited as the interpreter and personal driver for General Hans Leyers, Hitler's left hand who was assigned to oversee the Nazi operations in Italy. The General is among the Third Reich's most enigmatic and formidable commanding officers.

Pino's position provides him an opportunity to gather information from the German High Command and pass it onto the Allied forces. Working as a spy for the resistance, Pino endures the Nazis' oppression and their atrocities by the strength he finds in his love for Anna and in his hope for a future in which the war is over and they are finally free.

Needed a ‘refresher’ for book club. This accomplished it in a dry, factual fashion.

I now want to read the entire book. It would have been nice if this writer had used correct tense when using the word lay.
