Norman Lewis arrives in war-torn Naples as an intelligence officer
in 1944. The starving population has devoured all the tropical fish
in the aquarium, respectable women have been driven to prostitution
and the black market is king. Lewis finds little to admire in his
fellow soldiers, but gains sustenance from the extraordinary
vivacity of the Italians. There is the lawyer who earns his living
bringing a touch of Roman class to funerals, the gynaecologist who
"specializes in the restoration of lost virginity" and the widowed
housewife who times her British lover against the clock. "Were I
given the chance to be born again," writes Lewis, "Italy would be
the country of my choice."
