A review by elysahenegar
Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark T. Sullivan

4.0

Mark Sullivan's novel based on the true story of Pino Lella does not disappoint! Although the setting (WW2 Italy during Nazi occupation) packs the significant plot punch you would expect, the prose comes off fast-paced, with a think-on-your-feet style that complements the personality and skill of the book's protagonist and hero. By the end of the book, you feel like a friend of Pino's with whom he has shared both his honest vulnerability and determination to live with passion. This book is engaging and thoughtful, deep, tender, forever wounded, and yet full of indomitable joy. Highly recommend!
