Years ago, I watched the made-for-TV movie starring John Forsythe of A Bell for Adano, and I remember enjoyng it. So, I decided I'd read the novel, John Hersey's debut winning the Pulitzer Prize. It's a fairly easy and entertaining historical story, which takes a few chapters to get traction. The book probably had more impact and relevance right after the Second World War when it was published. I liked the different characters, American and Italian. The humor and romance work fine. I could feel the American GIs' loneliness for their families and loved ones back at home. I'm not a fan of dialogue tags set off with colons (:) instead of commas (,). All in all, I found it a satisfying read.
