A Kiss from Maddalena by Christopher Castellani tells the story of life in a small Italian village toward the end of World War II. The central characters are the beautiful Maddalena and the love of her life, the young Vito.
The war tears their lives apart as Maddalena's family finds itself fleeing their small village for safer parts of Italy. Vito must stay behind and care for his ailing mother.
Once the war is finished Maddalena and her family return. And life is never the same for either of them.
A wonderful story, beautiful, eloquent, and absorbing.
***I can't ruin the story for you so I'll just say this: this is not a "hollywood" story.
