Other People's Fathers

Her father, Romana Petri wrote, "was different from all other men, because he knew great joy, the sudden overturning of grief, unreasoning optimism." But he was not like the fathers of other people. And it was this sad revelation that led her to write this book, part stories, part reminiscence. There are vignettes of cruelty, of sadness, of isolation; but there is also a spirit of optimism that allows some of her friends--Avelina, Giovanni, Francesca, Sandro and others--to lead "normal" lives, despite their emotional scars.Petri, Romana is the author of 'Other People's Fathers' with ISBN 9781902881386 and ISBN 1902881389.
