Italian Chapel - Softcover
The Italian Chapel is a story of forbidden love, lifelong friendships torn apart, despair, and hope, set against the backdrop of the creation of a symbol that is known around the world. Amidst strikes, conflicts, and untold hardships, the Italian prisoners of war sent to a tiny Orkney island during World War II create a monument to the human spirit's ability to lift itself above great adversity. One artist falls in love with a local Orkney woman and leaves a token of his love in the chapel. . . it is still there today, and until The Italian Chapel, no one has ever known its true meaning.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Orkney 1942. Forbidden lovers, divided by war, united by a secret act of creation. Amid the turmoil of the Second World War, a group of Italian prisoners is sent to the remote Orkney island of Lamb Holm. In the freezing conditions, hunger and untold hardships of Camp 60, this ragtag band must work together to survive. Domenico, a talented artist, is among them. He inspires his comrades to create a symbol of peace during these dark days of war, and out of driftwood and scrap they build the Italian chapel: a beacon of hope and beauty in a world ravaged by war. The chapel soon becomes a place of love, too. When Giuseppe, another POW, falls for local woman Fiona, he decides to hide a token of his love there . . . the secret of which is unveiled for the first time in The Italian Chapel. Based on an incredible true story, this heartbreaking and inspiring tale tells of forbidden passion, lifelong friendships and the triumph of the human spirit.
