Pippo & Clara is a bittersweet story set in Mussolini’s Italy, following the lives of two siblings who become separated, and end up in different families from opposing ideologies.  I always like reading of sibling dynamics and the historical context was fascinating.  It was an enjoyable read although perhaps a few too many coincidences for me.
