Zaira: A Girl Before Her Time - Softcover

Patricia Borlenghi has written a novel about a young woman trying to break out of the mold that culture and history has formed for her.  Her story is intertwined with richly detailed glimpses of history, culture, food and language. As you follow this well-developed character through her adventures and sorrows, you will feel one with her character and find that there is perhaps a little of Zaira in all of us.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

'Patricia Borlenghi tells the story of this ménage a trois with sensitivity and verve, allowing us to glimpse the complex emotions and destinies that have linked these three so inextricably. Readers will delight in the author's occasional use of dialect, her references to food and festive traditions drawn from one of Italy's great culinary capitals and in the detailed attention to period setting  which all make this book come irresistibly alive'
