Book description
Amara, a young Italian journalist, is sent to report on the growing
political divide between East and West in post-war central Europe. She
also has a more personal mission: to find out what happened to
Emanuele, her soul mate from before the war when both were children in
Florence. From Auschwitz to Budapest, a journey into the bleeding
heart of the twentieth century.
Novelist, poet and playwright, Dacia Maraini has been awarded Italy's
top two literary prizes, the Premio Strega and the Premio Campiello. Her
fiction, which has been published in 22 countries, includes Woman at
War, Isolina, Voices and the worldwide best-seller The Silent Duchess.
Darcia Maraini lives in Rome.
