具体描述
Based on the true story of a forgotten hero, Beneath a Scarlet Sky is the triumphant, epic tale of one young man’s incredible courage and resilience during one of history’s darkest hours.
Pino Lella wants nothing to do with the war or the Nazis. He’s a normal Italian teenager—obsessed with music, food, and girls—but his days of innocence are numbered. When his family home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs, Pino joins an underground railroad helping Jews escape over the Alps, and falls for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his senior.
In an attempt to protect him, Pino’s parents force him to enlist as a German soldier—a move they think will keep him out of combat. But after Pino is injured, he is recruited at the tender age of eighteen to become the personal driver for Adolf Hitler’s left hand in Italy, General Hans Leyers, one of the Third Reich’s most mysterious and powerful commanders.
Now, with the opportunity to spy for the Allies inside the German High Command, Pino endures the horrors of the war and the Nazi occupation by fighting in secret, his courage bolstered by his love for Anna and for the life he dreams they will one day share.
Fans of All the Light We Cannot See, The Nightingale, and Unbroken will enjoy this riveting saga of history, suspense, and love.

##别的没啥说的 为啥英文小说就他娘非得英文评价 跟写微博似的两三行 了不得了
##故事非常棒，可惜人物塑造稍微少了点细腻和丰满
##A very attractive story that happened on the backstage of WWII. Not sure how much is real history, but great reading experience anyway.
##"life is change, life is constant change"
各种爬山。。。。
##前后写的比较好，中间Pino做间谍的部分着墨很少，他究竟贡献了什么了不起的情报？为什么拿到手提箱钥匙之后一直没有打开？Pino的个性倒一直挺统一的，只能在背后搞反动，当面起冲突时总是懦弱。General Leyer究竟是什么身份，为什么会知道Pino代号呢？可能这就是纪实文学吧。
##很棒的故事，语言上选词也讲究，再艰难的时局，也要演奏着音乐唱着歌，心里怀有希望。
