Silence on the Bridge Leda Stegel Darlington

SILENCE ON THE BRIDGE, second edition, is Leda Stegel Darlington's moving account of her childhood years in the Italian countryside before and during World War II. In a tragic story of a family caught up in the rising tide of Fascism and the struggle against Nazi rule, the author pieces together the events of her youth through early memories and information gathered from her parents and other relatives. This new edition includes additional content and photographs. The author lives in the Pacific Northwest, which she finds similar in many ways to her childhood home in what used to be northern Italy.
