Sitting high up in Italys World War One trenches, while backpacking in the Alps, I tried to wrap my mind around living in an icy trench for a whole year, wearing a thin woolen uniform, exposed to the elements, starving and fighting for my life.
Carmela DeMitri materialized from the thin air then stayed with me for three years, sharing her story of When Ice Ran Red.
Carmela DeMitri's struggle to survive bringsand the World War in the Italian Alps to life, In search of her great love, she sails to Italy from New York, but discovers that the Alpini have shanghaied him.
Determined to find Ben, Carmela accepts help from a soldier Baldovino but soon learns that he intends to rape her and murder Ben.
Loaded down like a donkey, Ben staggers up Marmolada, an icy,foot mountain, and he fights for the Alpini as they take the high trenches.
Desperate, Carmela escapes from Baldovino then talks her way out of an icy prison under Marmolada's glacier after being captured by the Austrians.
Close to exhaustion, she finds Ben sitting in the rubble of a huge avalanche mourning the loss of men he's come to respect.
Carmela vows never to touch another gun after killing several men, but she has to defend herself and Ben.
I was really pulled in by the author's descriptions, I found myself reaching for a blanket at times just from his descriptions of the cold and snowy environment that the people within the novel were facing.
It was well written and the characters well formed but sometimes I found myself feeling as if certain parts were dragging on a bit and looking forward to the books action picking up again.

Gradually, Corky Mason, the heroine of The Brothers Cro Magnon, came into being and told me the story of how she fell in love with a baby mammoth and came within a polar bears whisker of being a cavewoman.

I sat at an outlook on Mt, Subasio in Italy, gazing down at the white walls of Assisi, and my thinking turned to a book of philosophy Id been reading that damned faith and belief.
What if that philosopher sat here and an avenging angel struck him with a bolt of lightning Wild thinking indeed, yet it wouldnt leave me until David Bruno appeared and told me the story of Davide.
