A wonderful story of laughter and tears, life and death, love, coffee and a goat.
 
The date is 1941. War has engulfed the beautiful Greek island of Cephalonia and Mussolini’s Italian forces invade. Amid the chaos an unlikely love story starts to blossom.
 
Betrothed to a patriotic Greek fisherman, Pelagia’s life veers from the traditional when mischievous Italian Captain Corelli wins her over with his music, benevolence and zest for life. But can their love survive when the Italians are replaced by a German occupation?
 
Any fool can fall in love. Love is what is left after falling in love has fallen away
