Recommend this book

War in Val D'Orcia is a classic of the Second World War, a first-hand account of daily life in Tuscany in the final years of the conflict, years which were, in Italy, blighted by German occupation, Allied invasion and civil war. Iris Origo kept her diary even with German troops occupying her manor house, burying it in the garden and writing in secret at night; the result is a book which is an affirmation in itself of courage and resistance, and a compelling and honest chronicle of life in wartime.
