Amidst the chaos of fascist Italy, Emilio Bucci and Floria Savoia's journey unfolds against a backdrop of love, tragedy, and resilience. From the serene village of Agrigento, Sicily, to the vibrant streets of Hamilton, Ontario, their lives take unexpected turns, testing their endurance at every step. Fleeing the economic hardships of southern Italy, the Bucci family establishes a cozy pastry shop in Canada, offering a slice of tradition and comfort. However, their dreams are shattered as tensions rise between Canada and Italy, and the Bucci men face false accusations of fascist sympathies, leading to their wrongful internment shortly after Italy declares war on Britain and her allies. Torn from their homeland and confined within the Petawawa Internment Camp, the Bucci family battles against injustice, grief, and the pain of separation. In this bleak landscape, Emilio discovers an unexpected silver lining-a forbidden romance with Thomas, a camp guard. Emilio's heart is torn between his deepening affection for Thomas and the life that was cruelly taken from him. As he navigates this treacherous path, he struggles to find balance in a world that seems determined to defeat him.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
