Kate Caterina by William Rivière

"This is the story of a young Englishwoman who finds herself inside Nazi-Facist Europe when Italy declares war against Britain, living out the Second World War with a brother and brother-in-law in opposing armies and a family riven by politics. Her needs and loyalties tearing her every which way, Caterina can only watch as a civilisation collapses into barbarism. Until the battle for Italy begins, with the Axis in the north, the Allies fighting up from the south and the partisans going into action, when she escapes from her Tuscan palace with her small daughter and takes to the hills."--BOOK JACKET.
