The atmosphere in the village changes as the women take over the chores and begin to run things themselves. In the light of their freedom and growing sense of power, the women bloom. They become happier and quickly the village runs better than it ever did when the men were there. There are a few women who miss their husbands, but, by and large, the men are not missed. After a couple of years, a group of Austrian soldiers show up with prisoners in tow. These prisoners are Italian, charming and very different from the village men. Relationships form and pretty soon the women start wondering what it would be like if their husbands never came back. The war ends, the Italian prisoners return home and the village men come back to the village. However, if the men were dull and morose before, the war has exacerbated their natural traits and PTSD has made things worse. Beatings and punishments are common. In the meantime, Ferenc, who had been wounded, has returned. Sari has had a deep relationship with a prisoner, but she has kept her virginity because of her upcoming marriage. Ferenc has developed paranoia along with all the other complexes which he brought back from the war. He begins to beat Sari so that her life is in danger. Also, having finally been intimate with her Italian, she is pregnant and doesn''t know which man is the father. She becomes afraid that Ferenc will kill her or the baby. She goes to the herbalist for help, and their solution, and the way it changes the village makes up the second half of the book.
