The light in the ruins

An alternative view of World War II, set in Italy. The Rosati family villa is commandeered by the Germans during a final showdown with the British. A decade later, a serial killer enacts revenge on the Rosatis. I think the cover of the audiobook said something about "moral ambiguity," and it was only after I was completely done with this audiobook that I saw the point. The Italians who weren't collaborators or rebels did what they had to do to survive, some with disastrous results. It was an interesting point of view, one the author carried off without too much judgement of his own.
