Emily's Regent's Park Walking Book Club - February - Naples '44

Luckily for us, when Norman Lewis was posted to Southern Italy as an intelligence officer towards the end of the Second World War, he kept a diary. In dancing prose, Lewis brings together the absurd and the sublime, the horror and the beauty of his experience. And although he finds little to admire in his fellow soldiers, Lewis is utterly exhilarated by remarkable displays of Neapolitan vivacity and ingenuity. Naples ‘44 is both a fascinating historical document and an enthralling read.
