The book is based in 1944 and the story starts in Italy, in the April of that year, where my grandfather (Stan) was serving with the Army in the Italian village of Casanova. He sees a photo of my grandmother (Betty), whom he has never met, and falls in love with her just from seeing it. His best friend, George, is the reason for him seeing the photo, as she is George’s younger sister who serves with the A.T.S. Eventually he is persuaded by George to start writing to this beauty, and a they strike up a written friendship. About six months later, Stan finally gets some leave, but by that time Betty has ceased her letters to Stan, and so Stan is unsure as to whether she will want to see him; partly because he has been told by her in one of her letters that she also has another man writing to her, a Fireman, and partly due to the cease in letters from her. Upon arriving in England he decides he must see her
