'Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides'. It is 1941 and Captain Antonio Corelli, a young Italian officer, is posted to the Greek island of Cephallonia as part of the occupying forces. At first he is ostracised by the locals, but as a conscientious but far from fanatical soldier, whose main aim is to have a peaceful war, he proves in time to be civilised, humorous - and a consummate musician. When the local doctor's daughter's letters to her fiance - a member of the underground - go unanswered, the working of the eternal triangle seems inevitable. But can this fragile love survive as a war of bestial savagery gets closer and the lines are drawn between invader and defender?

En av mina absoluta favoritböcker - även om jag är ganska säker på att jag aldrig kommer att läsa om den... Den är den slags bok man bara läser en gång, helt enkelt. Levande skildring av personer, platser och händelser - och en berättelse som i sig hisnar både störtskönt och obehagligt i maggropen.
