'A true diamond of a novel, glinting with comedy and tragedy' - Daily Mail

It is 1941 and Captain Antonio Corelli, a young Italian officer, is sent to the Greek island of Cephalonia as part of the occupying forces. Initially isolated from the locals, he gradually proves to be cultured, full of humor – and an excellent musician.

When Pelagia, the daughter of the local doctor, discovers that her letters to her fiancé go unanswered, Antonio and Pelagia become close and the eternal triangle seems inevitable. But can this fragile love survive as the war draws nearer and lines are drawn between conqueror and defender?
