{"product_id":"corellis-mandolin-a-novel-1","title":"CORELLI'S MANDOLIN: A NOVEL","description":"The acclaimed story of a timeless place that one day wakes up to find itself in the jaws of history: \"An exuberant mixture of history and romance, written with a wit that is incandescent\" (Los Angeles Times Book Review).\n\nThe place is the Greek island of Cephallonia, where gods once dabbled in the affairs of men and the local saint periodically rises from his sarcophagus to cure the mad. Then the tide of World War II rolls onto the island's shores in the form of the conquering Italian army.\n\nCaught in the occupation are Pelagia, a willful, beautiful young woman, and the two suitors vying for her love: Mandras, a gentle fisherman turned ruthless guerilla, and the charming, mandolin-playing Captain Corelli, a reluctant officer of the Italian garrison on the island. Rich with loyalties and betrayals, and set against a landscape where the factual blends seamlessly with the fantastic, Corelli's Mandolin is a passionate novel as rich in ideas as it is genuinely moving.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 067976397X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 56JTFR002BXX_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:de Bernieres, Louis\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is a well used but readable copy.
