A young U.S. Army officer who’s served in Afghanistan finds himself suffering from intermittent bouts of “hysterical” temporary blindness due to impossible and deadly orders he was forced to obey by high command in the field. When he’s reunited with his fiancée in a military hospital in Germany after being separated for more than year, the couple are encouraged by doctors to travel to Venice, Italy together. There, amongst the canals and the cafes, they try to rekindle their love and fight off their personal demons while trying to comprehend the enormity of the heartbreaking role they now must play in love and war.

My Review:
Many of you know that Vincent Zandri writes suspenseful, thrilling novels. I was super excited to learn that he took a turn with the romance realm and wrote a short story on it. I was pleased with what I read! While I normally expect twists and turns at every angle from a Zandri novel, this short story still left me in awe.

This short story is a fast read, and will hook you from the start. It’s a story filled with the aftermath of war, the devastation it can reek on one’s character, and the consequences that sometimes have to be paid. But, mixed in with that, it’s about finding oneself in the midst of tragedy. Focused on the blindness that can occur when someone witnesses a tragedy beyond belief, this story centers on coming to terms with actions,finding out what love truly means by standing by someone you love, and ‘seeing’ the simplest things in life that we tend to take for granted.

If you are looking for a fast paced, enjoyable quick read to pass that wait in the doctor’s office, or carpool line, grab a copy of another fantabulous Zandri work. You’ll be blown away at his ability to write in another genre other than his thrilling suspense. Four Book worthy and highly recommended! Great job, Vincent!
