We will walk and talk on Hampstead Heath, discussing this enthralling wartime diary
About this Event

Luckily for us, when Norman Lewis was posted to Southern Italy as an intelligence officer towards the end of the Second World War, he kept a diary. In dancing prose, Lewis brings together the absurd and the sublime, the horror and the beauty of his experience. And although he finds little to admire in his fellow soldiers, Lewis is utterly exhilarated by remarkable displays of Neapolitan vivacity and ingenuity. Naples ‘44 is both a fascinating historical document and an enthralling read.

N.B. Please ensure that you have read the book BEFORE coming on the walk - or it risks spoiling the event for other walkers. If you've don't quite have time to read the book, please consider instead joining the Monday evening Zoom, for which reading the book isn't a prerequisite.
