Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 'An unqualified masterpiece . as acute a study of the psychology of war as fiction offers us' Guardian It's 1943. The allied invasion of Sicily. In a lull in the fighting, an exhausted British battalion marches into the searing summer heat of Catania, to be greeted by the women, children and old men emerging form the bomb shelters. Yearning for some semblance of domestic life, the men begin to fill the roles left by absent husbands and fathers. Unlikely relationships form, tender, exploitative even cruel, but all shaped by the exigencies of war. Centred around a love story, between Graziela, a young mother, and Sergeant Craddock, whose rough attempts at seduction are vindicated by his sympathy and the care he shows for her malnourished child, There's No Home offers an unerringly humane and authentic portrayal of the emotional impact of war. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR003288293

Etat : Very Good. : En 1943, durante la invasión aliada de Sicilia, un batallón británico marcha hacia la devastada ciudad de Catania, donde son recibidos por mujeres, niños y ancianos. Anhelando un atisbo de vida hogareña, los soldados comienzan a ocupar los roles de esposos y padres ausentes. Se forman relaciones improbables, algunas tiernas, otras explotadoras e incluso crueles, todas destinadas a terminar cuando el batallón se marche. En el corazón de esta historia se encuentra el amor entre Graziella, una joven madre, y el sargento Craddock.
