The stage is set for a profound exploration of memory, guilt, and the quest for redemption. Through the eyes of an elderly man burdened by the past, you will be taken on a deep and evocative journey into the complexities of life and the enduring impact of history. The past and present intersect, and the truth, though painful, begs to be revealed. Bill, the man trying to solve the mystery, travels around northern Italy and France, collecting evidence and gradually finding the long buried story of partisans and the struggle they were forced to endure. What emerges is a realisation that, in war, no hero is faultless and even a traitor can merit forgiveness. If a person is the sum of their experiences, what is the cost of total war? The wounds of such conflict are never erased, they just get distorted by sentiment.
The story is set both in the near present and back in the second world war. It takes around 73000 words to reach a conclusion and I believe you will take a few enjoyable sittings to reach your own.
