Karen Campbell Bücher
Die schottische Autorin Karen Campbell, Absolventin des renommierten Masterstudiengangs Kreatives Schreiben an der Universität Glasgow, schöpft aus ihren Erfahrungen als Polizistin, um rohe, schwarzhumorige Werke zu schaffen. Ihre Schriften befassen sich mit dem Leben hinter der Uniform und den komplexen Entscheidungen, die Frauen treffen, und bieten einen authentischen Einblick in Realitäten, die sie aus erster Hand kennt. Diese Mischung aus persönlichen Einblicken und ungeschönter Realität macht ihre Erzählungen besonders fesselnd.

'Moving, complex, romantic, and beautifully written, Karen Campbell's saga ... is a triumph' Allan Massie, Scotsman Divided by loyalties, brought together by war September, 1943. Tuscany, Italy. In the hilltop town of Barga, everyone holds their breath. Even the bells fall silent. Everything Vittoria Guidi knows and loves is at risk. German troops occupy the mountains around her home, as America's Buffalo Soldiers prepare to invade. As Vittoria's country is torn in two, so is her conscience. Should she side with her Scots-Italian father or her Fascist mother? Should she do what she is told - or what she believes in? Frank Chapel, a young, black American soldier fighting with the Buffalo soldiers for a country that refuses him the vote, is unlike anyone Vittoria has ever met. In the chaos, they find each other - but can their growing love overcome prejudice and war?
