Description:
The tale of the Strada family opens as Casa Rossa -- their magnificent farmhouse in Puglia -- is being sold. As she packs up the house, Alina begins piecing together the fragments of her family's past, of the lives of three extraordinary Strada women. Grandmother Renee, a beautiful Tunisian, was wife, muse, and model for Alina's painter grandfather but, in an act of shocking infidelity, left him and fled to Nazi Germany. Alina's mother, Alba, married a melancholic screenwriter and lived Ia dolce vita in 1950s' Rome until her husband's mysterious death. Isabelle, Alina's sister and once her best friend, became a stranger caught up in a dangerous ideology: she joined the Red Brigades in the 1970s, a choice that sparked a betrayal of which the sisters will never speak. As these individual lives unfold, so does the larger one -- the story of a family whose secrets collide with history.Casa Rossa is an intricate, moving, suspenseful novel in which the remarkable gifts of Francesca Marciano are everywhere evident.
