520    A sweeping and romantic novel about love, loss, and 
       conflict in an occupied Italian town during World War II. 
       Trapped in Tuscany as war rages along the Gothic Line, 
       Vittoria Guidi doesn't understand where her allegiances 
       should lie. With her Scots-Italian father or Facsist 
       mother? With Mussolini, or her King? With the life she 
       wants, or is told to live?  As Germans occupy the 
       mountains round Barga, and US Buffalo soldiers draw near, 
       loyalties are tested and families torn apart. Frank Chapel,
       a young, black soldier fighting for a country that refuses
       him the vote, is unlike anyone Vita has met. In the chaos,
       they find each other--but can their growing love defy 
       prejudice and war?  The Sound of the Hours is an all-
       consuming tale of romance and loss. It is at once an 
       intimate and tender portrait of first love and a sweeping 
       evocation of an extraordinary, devastating moment in 
       history.
