Book cover for 'The Saltbox Olive' by Angela Antle, featuring a collage illustration of a woman with a black house-shaped hat and a pink and white abstract face, with decorative patterns in the background.

The Saltbox Olive

Set in Italy during WW2, this novel challenges hero archetypes, examines propaganda, and the erasure of women’s roles in the conflict. Decades after the war, Artist Caroline Fisher sets out to solve a family mystery and learn the truth about why her grandfather burned the wartime letters of his deceased brother Arch who died under mysterious circumstances while they were serving in the Apennines with the British Army, 166th (Newfoundland) Artillery Regiment.

Caroline’s quest to discover what happened to the Fisher brothers stirs up the dust of massacres, jealousy, and broken promises, but ultimately leads to the discovery of forgotten work from a female war photographer and links to the Italian resistance, creating an unexpected future from the wreckage of war.

Coming in May 2025, from Breakwater Books.
