Riassunto

It is 1940, and Guy and Harriet Pringle are still in Bucharest, but the "phoney war" is over. This second part of "The Balkan Trilogy" is a portrait of a city in upheaval, unsure where its loyalties lie, and of a young couple struggling to succeed with their marriage in the face of adversity.

L'autore:

Olivia Manning, OBE, was born in Portsmouth, England and spent much of her youth in Ireland. She married just before World War II and went to live in Bucharest with her husband. Her experience there formed the basis of the work that makes up The Balkan Trilogy. As the Germans approached Athens, she and her husband evacuated to Egypt and ended up in Jeruslam where her husband worked at the Palestine Broadcasting Station. They returned to London in 1946 and lived there until her death in 1980.
