Book excerpt: So Disdained is set in Italy during the 1930s. The story follows the character of Stephen Fletcher, an English engineer who is sent to Italy to work on a new project. Fletcher becomes involved in a dangerous game of espionage, as he is recruited by a British intelligence agent to gather information about an Italian weapons manufacturer. Along the way, Fletcher falls in love with a beautiful Italian woman named Marta, who becomes instrumental in his mission. However, as Fletcher becomes increasingly entangled in his role as a spy, he begins to question the morality of his actions and the motives of those around him. The novel explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, love, and the political tensions of pre-World War II Europe. Ultimately, Fletcher must decide where his loyalties lie and what he is willing to risk for the sake of his beliefs and those he cares about.
