   I love this book because it illustrates in vivid technicolour the true human response to war. Set on the Greek Island of Cephalonia before and during the Italian occupation of WW2 it introduces the reader to a host of characters. Their quirks and idiosyncrasies are what make them so fascinating. So much historical…
