Return to San Catello

Destiny often hinges on the tiniest things: being a few seconds late, an inappropriate gesture, an anodyne encounter, a stupid incident. Marzio has given up ever finding his Ophelia... and instead finds his family in danger. What would have happened if Charles Ceseran, a Marseille photographer, had not stumbled upon letters from America addressed to his mother?...
Philippe Carrese weaves a stirring tale based on the rise of Fascism in Italy in the late 1930s, with a picaresque detour in Abyssinia, on the shores of Lake Ontario, and in the heart of the red light district of interwar Marseille.
