Critics Review
‘Under the heat and the hammering of bombs, Rinaldi paints the essence of the Second World War in exciting miniature’
‘Under the heat and the hammering of bombs, Rinaldi paints the essence of the Second World War in exciting miniature’ – David Hughes * Mail on Sunday *
‘Much to enjoy…Rinaldi has tremendous fun evoking the rich cultural pudding that was Malta in 1942, its weird combination of superstition, fatalism and grafted-on anglophilia, of ricotta and stiff upper lip’ – Patrick Gale * Daily Telegraph *
‘Funny, romantic, disturbing…A marvellous tapestry of war…Moving and satisfying’ * The New York Times *
‘A beguiling, romantic story in an illuminating and surprising setting’ – Joseph Heller
