It is 1941 and Captain Antonio Corelli, a young Italian officer, is
posted to the Greek island of Cephallonia as part of the occupying
forces. At first he is ostracised by the locals but over time he proves
himself to be civilised, humorous - and a consummate musician. When
Pelagia, the local doctor's daughter, finds her letters to her fiance go
unanswered, Antonio and Pelagia draw close and the working of the
eternal triangle seems inevitable.
But can this fragile love
survive as a war of bestial savagery gets closer and the lines are drawn
between invader and defender?'Louis de Bernieres is in the direct line
that runs through Dickens and Evelyn Waugh...he has only to look into
his world, one senses, for it to rush into reality, colours and touch
and taste' Evening Standard
