«La nostra guerra» is the novel by Enrico Brizzi, published in 2009 by Baldini Castoldi Dalai (640 pages, in Italian).
In 1942, in an alternative history, fascist Italy sides with the Allies against the Third Reich. Lorenzo Pellegrini, a twelve-year-old boy, leaves his comfortable bourgeois life and becomes displaced; amid adult disputes and boys' battles, he witnesses his parents' estrangement and the end of his childhood.
Second chapter of Enrico Brizzi's saga set in twentieth-century Italy, after «L'inattesa piega degli eventi». The volume includes illustrations and maps.
For those who enjoy coming-of-age stories set in wartime and the bittersweet tradition of Italian cinema, such as «Tutti a casa» and «Il Federale».
Enrico Brizzi is an Italian writer. He is best known for his debut novel Jack Frusciante Has Left the Band, which is so far the only one translated into English. It also inspired the same name Italian movie in 1996.
