Daughters of the Prince

The story of three Italian sisters; Raefella, Rosanna and Fiammetta, living under Mussolini in 1938 and the men who fell in love with them: Steve, an American playboy; Kurt, a German musician; Hamilton Johns, an English painter. Set in Florence at the beginning of the World War II, this is the last novel by Noel Barber, whose novels include TANAMERA, A FAREWELL TO FRANCE and A WOMAN OF CAIRO. ''The European war, particularly the bombing of art-filled Cassino, is evoked with good period detail.'' Publishers Weekly
