Twilight of Memory
Smith, Julia Faye (the author is a former guest of Cretaiole)
The book follows a 10th Army Division WWII soldier from Colorado to the battlefields of Riva Ridge and Belvedere. The hero is gravely wounded and is taken to an Italian villa where he is nursed back to health by Esterina, Isabella, Antonio, and Daisy. Unforgettable Cretaiole is expanded into a larger villa which welcomes the wounded soldier. Looking across the fields to Pienza becomes some of his best medicine. The book is available at Amazon USA, Amazon UK, and Amazon IT.
