Book description
The story of three Italian sisters; Raefella, Rosanna and Fiammetta,
living under Mussolini in 1938 and the men who fell in love with them:
Steve, an American playboy; Kurt, a German musician; Hamilton Johns, an
English painter. Set in Florence at the beginning of the World War II,
this is the last novel by Noel Barber, whose novels include TANAMERA, A
FAREWELL TO FRANCE and A WOMAN OF CAIRO. 'The European war, particularly
the bombing of art-filled Cassino, is evoked with good period detail.'

Noel Barber has enchanted millions of readers with his six
bestselling novels. In these powerfully exotic novels he drew upon his
own experience as one of the leading foreign correspondents from the 40s
to the 60s working on the Daily Mail
. He was the first Briton to reach the South Pole since Scott, was
stabbed five times while covering the wars in Morocco and was shot
during the Hungarian uprising. He died in 1988.
