Starting today on BBC Sounds: a 10-part reading of Eric Linklater’s PRIVATE ANGELO
Italy, 1943. Angelo is overjoyed when the armistice is announced. Finally, he can return to his true love in Tuscany. But amidst the destruction of liberation, the cowardly private will find himself fighting not only for the Italian army but also the Germans, & finally the Allies in a witty & compassionate satire on the folly of war.
