Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1922, in a small village in the area of central Italy known as the Ciociaria, bathed by the green waters of the river Liri and framed by the Aurunci mountains, Filomena suddenly loses everything she holds dear, her parents. After the death of her mother during the Spanish 'flu outbreak, her father decides to leave the country and seek his fortune abroad, never to return. Raised by her elderly grandparents, Filomena endures hardship and hunger in an era when illiteracy is still widespread. As she grows into a beautiful young woman, she is forced to make painful personal sacrifices when she finds work in the capital city and leaves her village in the hope of improving her miserable circumstances. Beguiled by life in the big city, despite her initial feelings of distrust, Filomena is still willing to believe in love until she comes face to face with betrayal and the prejudices of the time and eventually decides to return home. There she finds herself caught up in the Second World War, as her village lies directly along the German Gustav line. Will she find the strength to rise from the ashes and survive death and destruction? "Flowers in the Rubble" is Monica Maratta's first novel and was inspired by events in the life of her beloved paternal grandmother and the inhabitants of the village where she was born and raised. A bitter-sweet novel set in a time when love smelled of sugar and cinnamon, bitterness and dust, in a time when Italy was governed by a reckless and ill-equipped regime, Filomena shows strength and courage, in her struggle to survive and keep her distant, long-time love close to her heart.

Book Synopsis Flowers in the Gutter by : K. R. Gaddy
Download or read book Flowers in the Gutter written by K. R. Gaddy and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of the Edelweiss Pirates, working-class teenagers who fought the Nazis by whatever means they could. Fritz, Gertrud, and Jean were classic outsiders: their clothes were different, their music was rebellious, and they weren’t afraid to fight. But they were also Germans living under Hitler, and any nonconformity could get them arrested or worse. As children in 1933, they saw their world change. Their earliest memories were of the Nazi rise to power and of their parents fighting Brownshirts in the streets, being sent to prison, or just disappearing. As Hitler’s grip tightened, these three found themselves trapped in a nation whose government contradicted everything they believed in. And by the time they were teenagers, the Nazis expected them to be part of the war machine. Fritz, Gertrud, and Jean and hundreds like them said no. They grew bolder, painting anti-Nazi graffiti, distributing anti-war leaflets, and helping those persecuted by the Nazis. Their actions were always dangerous. The Gestapo pursued and arrested hundreds of Edelweiss Pirates. In World War II’s desperate final year, some Pirates joined in sabotage and armed resistance, risking the Third Reich’s ultimate punishment. This is their story.

Book excerpt: Young Drasko is happy working with his father in the Sarajevo market. Then war encroaches. Drasko must run the family flower stand alone. One morning, the bakery is bombed and twenty-two people are killed. The next day, a cellist walks to the bombsite and plays the most heartbreaking music Drasko can imagine. The cellist returns for twenty-two days, one day for each victim of the bombing. Inspired by the musician's response, Drasko finds a way to help make Sarajevo beautiful again. Inspired by real events of the Bosnian War, award-winning songwriter and storyteller John McCutcheon tells the uplifting story of the power of beauty in the face of violence and suffering. The story comes to life with the included CD in which cellist Vedran Smailović accompanies McCutcheon and performs the melody that he played in 1992 to honor those who died in the Sarajevo mortar blast.
