Love, war and ice cream

the long version

A vivid portrait of two very different families, revealing the triumphs, tragedies and twists that ultimately bring them together. Harry's family was overwhelmed by the enormous social changes that occurred after the Great War, dismayed as they were by the sudden disappearance of their way of life. Marina came from a family of resourceful people, willing and able to work hard for a better life. As war simmered, they emigrated from Italy to Spain, where they sold delicious ice cream. Then Harry met Marina. This engrossing saga blends the personal and the historical into an epic about love and duty, about family, and about growing up in different times.
