- Synopsis
- The #1 New York Times–bestselling novel of an Italian town banding together against Nazis occupation—“irresistibly engaging . . . bubbles with gaiety and wit” (The New York Times).In the last days of World War II, German forces are sent to occupy the Italian hill town of Santa Vittoria. Above all, they wish to claim its great treasure: one million bottles of the Santa Vittoria wine that is its lifeblood. As the provincial mayor matches wits with the urbane German captain, the town unites—aristocrats and peasants, old enemies and young lovers—to deceive the Germans and save its wine.When the wine suddenly disappears, its hidden location becomes the closely held secret of Santa Vittoria. Robert Crichton brings this tale to life with wit, heart, and suspense in his masterful classic. First published in 1966, The Secret of Santa Vittoria was on the New York Times bestseller list for fifty weeks—eighteen weeks as #1—and became an international bestseller.
