Takeaways
Description
Corelli's Mandolin is about a young woman and two men. The place is the Greek Island Cephallonia, where gods once dabbled in the affairs of men and a local Saint rose from his sarcophagus to cure the mad. The tide of World War II rolls in on the Island in the form of invading Italian army. The story is rich with loyalties and betrayals, and set in a landscape where the factual blends seamlessly with the fantastic.
