It was 1938, and she learned with a shock that her endearing but feckless artist father faced financial disaster. With the loss of their home imminent, they had no option but to except an offer of a house in Malta, and on that hot and exotic island, in the magnificent but crumbling Villa Zonda, Lila at last glimpsed the kind of life of which she had always dreamed.But war was looming, and Malta became the focus of Hitler's attention while Lila became the focus of attention of three very different young men. As bombing devastated the island Lila, along with the other inhabitants, learned to live with privation and fear, and also to discover which dreams are really worth pursuing. During World War II Lila. working as a nurse, awaits the return of her love, a British soldier of noble birth. But will he marry a woman below his rank? Meanwhile, a native Maltese teacher pines for her.313p.maps on endpapers, Paper mildly age-toned, else fine. Book
