In 1942 Eric Newby, a member of the British Special Boat Section (SBS), was captured by enemy soldiers during an operation off the coast of Sicily. Held for over a year in a prisoner-of-war camp, Newby and his fellow prisoners took advantage of the Italian surrender in 1943 and escaped into the countryside. Newby would go on to be a celebrated travel writer with titles such as A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush, but this book – a funny and moving tribute to the people of rural Italy who helped him survive – is perhaps his most personal and most poignant.
