Adriana Nardi is only ten years old when Allied forces occupy her
lush island home during World War II, plaguing the quiet Italian
village with violence and uncertainty. Amdu is a Senegalese soldier
who abandons his comrades and befriends Adriana after witnessing an
unspeakable act that has far-reaching repercussions. Years later,
on a commuter train bound for Penn Station, sixty-year-old Adriana
revisits her memories of the war and her doomed relationship with
Amdu, even as a present crisis threatens her life.
