From the back of the book:
It is 1941 and Captain Antonio Corelli, a young Italian officer, is posted to the Greek island of Caphallonia as part of the occupying forces. At first he is ostracised by the locals, but as a conscientious but far from fanatical soldier, whose main aim is to have a peaceful war, he proves in time to be civilised, humourous - and a consummate musician.
When the local doctor's daughter's letters to her fiance - a member of the underground - go unanswered, a relationship between her and the young captain seems inevitable. But can this fragile love survive as a war of bestial savagery gets closer and the lines are drawn between invader and defender?
