Publisher's Synopsis
"This book opened a window into my wife's daily life, a surprising revelation of the small -and not so small- problems that a woman, wife and mother, has to deal with on a daily basis. Of course, the women we are talking about here are not just any women, because what Giancarla says about soldiers is also true of our life partners. These women are just like every other woman, but there is a difference: they often have to leave behind the people they love, their Country and their friends, in order to follow us to unfamiliar places. They often have to reorganize their whole life from one day to the next."
..."Giancarla uses her sense of humor to describe our world. She paints a remarkably convincing portrait of our complexities and contradictions, of our fears and our efforts, of our victories and of our defeats. She captures images of a life that is not only ours, the life of soldiers, but of all the families in uniform, families that are at the same time normal and special. It is our lives and our everyday efforts that constitute the true honor the armed forces pay to our beloved homeland."
Logistic Commander of the Italian Army
