A Castle in Romagna
ABOUT
THE BOOK
In eleven tightly woven chapters that alternate between Renaissance Italy and Tito’s Yugoslavia, this novel tells two tales of love, intrigue and betrayal at one and the same time.
Here it is Rimini, 1535, and the Croatian island of Rab, 1948, just days after Tito’s momentous break with Stalin. Lives and fates are intertwined, history repeats itself, nostalgia for home is bittersweet and undying.
