Robert is an American soldier in occupied Rome during the final months of World War II. Lisa is a young woman obliged to work in Mamma Adele`s on the Via Flaminia.

Alfred Hayes was born in London in 1911. He grew up in New York and attended school in that city. He worked for a time as a newspaperman, magazine writer, and radio hack, all in New York. In 1943 Mr Hayes went into the army, serving in Italy. While in Rome, he met Roberto Rossellini and Luigi Zampa, and worked with Rossellini on the film Paisà.
He returned to the United States in 1945, and after writing All Thy Conquests, which was published in 1945, went to Hollywood for Warner Brothers. Shadow of Heaven was published in 1946. An earlier book, The Big Time, a volume of poems, was published in 1944. Hayes received the Eunice Tietjins poetry award several years ago.
