About this title

Synopsis

Beppo, the Conscript follows a young man swept up in a harsh, changing world.

In a small Adriatic region, the draft tests loyalty, love, and endurance as communities confront old rules and new fears. The story blends vivid village life with a larger drama about power, duty, and the cost of freedom.

Beppo’s heart is caught between a broken past and a future he cannot escape. As the drawing day arrives, the town’s tensions rise, and personal and political loyalties collide. The book sketches a world where politics, religion, and family duty shape every choice, and where a man’s fate can hinge on a single moment.
What you’ll experience:

• A look at a society under pressure, where conscription stirs rebellion and resentment.
• A tense, intimate portrait of Beppo, Giulia, and Lisa as they navigate love and loyalty.
• Moments of public ritual, private longing, and the costs of daring to hope.
• A narrative that blends historical detail with character-driven drama.

Ideal for readers of historical realism, vivid setting, and stories about love, loss, and resilience in a changing world.
