具體描述
Based on the true story of a forgotten hero, Beneath a Scarlet Sky is the triumphant, epic tale of one young man’s incredible courage and resilience during one of history’s darkest hours.
Pino Lella wants nothing to do with the war or the Nazis. He’s a normal Italian teenager—obsessed with music, food, and girls—but his days of innocence are numbered. When his family home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs, Pino joins an underground railroad helping Jews escape over the Alps, and falls for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his senior.
In an attempt to protect him, Pino’s parents force him to enlist as a German soldier—a move they think will keep him out of combat. But after Pino is injured, he is recruited at the tender age of eighteen to become the personal driver for Adolf Hitler’s left hand in Italy, General Hans Leyers, one of the Third Reich’s most mysterious and powerful commanders.
Now, with the opportunity to spy for the Allies inside the German High Command, Pino endures the horrors of the war and the Nazi occupation by fighting in secret, his courage bolstered by his love for Anna and for the life he dreams they will one day share.
Fans of All the Light We Cannot See, The Nightingale, and Unbroken will enjoy this riveting saga of history, suspense, and love.

##前後寫的比較好，中間Pino做間諜的部分著墨很少，他究竟貢獻瞭什麼瞭不起的情報？為什麼拿到手提箱鑰匙之後一直沒有打開？Pino的個性倒一直挺統一的，隻能在背後搞反動，當麵起衝突時總是懦弱。General Leyer究竟是什麼身份，為什麼會知道Pino代號呢？可能這就是紀實文學吧。
評分##很棒的故事，語言上選詞也講究，再艱難的時局，也要演奏著音樂唱著歌，心裏懷有希望。

評分##作者說是根據Pino的人生寫得，怎麼會那麼巧閤跟Anna重遇。跟德國軍官父子般的相處，太神奇瞭，難以相信是真的。關於二戰的小說真的都挺好看的，在動蕩的曆史中，每個活下來的人都有不凡的經曆，都值得寫成故事。
評分##The first half of this novel is ridiculously dull.. the second half is just a bit more exiting, though the author has excellent ability to narrate something suspense in a banal way. Seeing phrases like “if he saw it, he didn’t show.” for at least 200 times. Real bad writing, real bad, how’s this bunch of turd get to be published??..

評分##整體還可以 劇情算吸引人讀下去 但是很多地方簡直太抓馬瞭吧 主角簡直是開掛好運氣人生 好多橋段像作者天馬行空想象齣來的一樣 不敢相信是紀實文學 但作為認真讀完的第一本英文小說 值得紀念....
評分##這兩年二戰題材很火，但是就還好。
評分##We don't have many stories told about WWII from the Italians. This one is beautifully told and encouraging.
