When master painter Domenico Chiocchetti joined the Italian army during the Second World War, no one could have guessed where his journey would take him. Captured by the Allies, Domenico and many other Italians were taken to Orkney to build huge barriers in the sea. It seemed an impossible, hopeless task. But ... when Domenico offered his skills to help build a chapel for the men of Camp 60, it marked the beginning of a change that would turn cynics into believers and enemies into friends. Gradually, with enormous trust, talent and dedication, British and Italians came together to forge a universal emblem of hope. This ... novel tells the true story of triumph over adversity ... And the incredible legacy they left - a masterpiece in plasterboard and scrap metal - is a lasting reminder of the true strength of the human spirit.
