Restoration

By Olaf Olafsson

Book Overview

"A tremendous talent." -- Boston Globe " Restoration is an elegantly constructed work of fiction, seamlessly moving between the past and the present." --Ron Rash, bestselling author of Serena Acclaimed novelist Olaf Olafsson brings us Restoration , a sweeping story of love tested by human frailty and the terrors and tragedies of war. Departing from the landscapes of his native Iceland--so beautifully evoked in Absolution , The Journey Home , and other previous works--Olafson sets Restoration in the gorgeous Italian hills of Tuscany during the World War Two years of the early 1940s. He captivates readers with a deeply emotional story in the vein of The English Patient by Michael Ondaajte, Ian McEwan's Atonement , and other contemporary literary classics, spinning a tale of passion, art, war, and betrayal centered around a pair of love triangles and a forged Caravaggio.
