Fictional recounting of the family history of Italian family during WWWI - Mousoline and Hitler - to present day reconecting of American branch with Italian branch. Fasinating.

Great book! I really enjoyed the insights into living through WWII. Memoir of Italian family.
This book is a love story, that will make you cry and laugh.
Really great story. Thoroughly enjoyed.
