BRIDGE OF SIGHS AND DREAMS
I have recently published a novel: Bridge
of Sighs and Dreams. In addition to the general public, readers interested in Italian history and World War 2 history should enjoy this novel. Also, I believe this
novel would be of special interest to artists, as the protagonist is a
political cartoonist and portrait artist who uses her skill to help survive
World War 2 Nazi occupied Italy. The
book is available in paperback and eBook at:
BookLocker.com, Amazon.com ,
barnesandnoble.com, iTunes.com and most
other online bookstores. An excerpt is available at: http://booklocker.com/books/8228.html

Bridge of Sighs and Dreams
Below is a short description:
Nazi-occupied Rome sets the stage for Bridge of Sighs and Dreams, where the lives of two women
collide in an arena of deception, greed, and sacrifice.
Following an allied attack, Angelina Rosini flees to Rome from her
bombed-out village and a ruthless Nazi officer bent on revenge. In Rome, the
spirited portrait artist channels her creativity into the art of survival for
herself and her young daughter. Unwilling to merely endure, and armed with
ingenuity, wit, and unyielding optimism, she enters the shadow world of the
Resistance where she zigzags through a labyrinth of compassionate allies and
cunning spies.
Meanwhile, Lidia Corsini quenches her lust for power and wealth by
turning in Jews to the Nazi Police attaché with whom she has formed an
alliance. Her spiral into immorality accelerates as swiftly as the Jewish
population dwindles, and soon neither her husband nor her son is immune to her
madness.
Once Angelina discovers the consequences of Lidia’s greed, she
conspires to put an end to the treacheries; but in doing so, she becomes the
target of Lidia’s most sinister plot.
Bridge of Sighs and Dreams is a story of betrayal, dignity, and purpose that highlights the
brutality toward Italian citizens, under both Mussolini’s Fascist regime and
the Nazi occupation, and illustrates the tenacity of the human spirit.
