It is 1943 when a squadron of English Wellingtons take off from Tunisia with the mission of bombing FIAT factories in Turin. Among the Wellingtons is one aircraft assigned to destroy Berlin with an atomic bomb. When the pilots encounter a terrible snowstorm over the Ligurian Apennines, some return to base but the three who decide to continue the mission crash in Val Boreca. Before the impact that ended the lives of too many young men, five English aviators choose to postpone the date of the bomb explosion to 2025. Elisa is a curious girl living in modern times who is especially drawn to colors, ancient artifacts, historical readings, and uniforms. After she boards an airplane in Palermo bound for Genoa with her mother, Laura, she is seated by a senior British aviation official and Paolo, a navy veteran. As they engage in a lively conversation, Elisa has no idea that she is about to be given a secret mission with the potential to change the course of history. In this exciting novel, a little girl who meets two men on an airplane bound for Genoa must rely on her ingenuity and resolve to stop a fateful mission outlined some eighty years earlier.
