This week, we're uncorking a story that's as bold and complex as Italian wine, a tale of a young man's bravery against the backdrop of one of history's darkest moments. We're diving into Mark Sullivan's riveting historical fiction, Beneath a Scarlet Sky.

Grab a glass of something robust as we follow the incredible, true story of Pino Lella. We'll be discussing the shocking betrayals and the impossible choices, amidst the chaos of World War II. Was his a life of a coward or a hero? And can we ever truly know the cost of survival?

So, fill your glass and get ready to be swept away to the Italian Alps. We're talking resistance fighters, Nazi secrets, and a love story that will have you reaching for the tissues. It's an episode that will have you both a little tipsy and a lot inspired. Cheers to good books and great wine!
