A hilarious account of what happens at the end of the Second World War in a small Italian town when the townspeople discover that their 14th-century bridge is about to be blown up by overzealous liberators on one hand and the retreating enemy on the other. “I think it’s absolutely terrific. I haven’t enjoyed anything so much for ages. I read it at one sitting and thought it had everything – an excellent story, with real suspense and a wonderful set of characters.”– P.G. Wodehouse
