Russia, 1943. A girl from Leningrad, a soldier from Venice, stand together on the edge of wilderness. He is a shadow of a man, trapped behind wire, an enemy in her land. She takes something from her pocket, slips her hand through the wire, and catches her skin on one of the barbs. Up comes a tiny sphere of blood. 'Have this,' the man takes the gift - a small crust of bread, a little piece of hope. Its memory will keep him alive on his long journey home. And when home again, which way will he tip, which sentiment will be strongest? His quiet love for the girl who saved his life, his unfulfilled desire for vengeance, a burning desire to see Fausto Pozzi finally pay the price for the terrible thing that he has done?

This book is very easy to read and on a superficial level quite enjoyable. The plot rattles along and the writing is simple. However it is neither fish nor fowl, it is neither the sweeping romantic epic that it could be, nor the gritty story of survival and revenge that it might aspire to be. Aldo 19s supposed motivation for revenge is clear but the character, who has been overwhelmingly moral to that point, commits a callous murder with little guilt. I did enjoy the book but it left little impression on me.
