Ferruccio Delle Cave Livres

We are all searching for something… for answers… for love… or God perhaps. (Many would say for happiness.) Or could it be for those precious unexpected moments when life hovers pain-free…life’s ‘cameos’?As for the enigmatic Giulia, her search to uncover family truths finds her caught between two colliding worlds, or maybe three or four. Where exactly does she fit in? Should she speak of what she discovers?She finds solace in the beauty of the natural world and in man’s highest creative achievements set against her own strict Catholic formation.But nature can also destroy… and not all of humankind sets out to make our time on Earth more bearable, more poetic.Each chapter… or ‘cameo’… tells a little story of its own, each slotted within the bigger picture of Giulia’s journey. She is not alone. She has the support of a dear friend and, whether she likes it or not, of an elusive man in the outer shadows of her existence.

Most of us dream of that life-changing moment: news of a lottery win, a surprise inheritance, becoming famous. Pasquale yearns to reach the city, to leave behind his village and humble origins. A young man, whose thoughts and desires lie beyond his time and place in the world. Someone set apart from the start. A hopeless case, as far as his people are concerned. And then, suddenly, he acts upon a stroke of good fortune: the opportunity for a new name, a new identity. The life he has always craved. No longer trapped in his own skin and narrow horizons, his journey will take him through diverse landscapes, mental, physical, and emotional, as he clings onto the childhood image of owning a grand villa overlooking the sea. Life is never simple though and escaping one's roots is next to impossible, even for the narcissistic and single-minded Pasquale. How will he face life's big questions: love, death, the significance of parenthood, friendship? Just how secure his place, in the hazy underworld of Fascist Italy?
