Join us at the Irvington Public Library as author and NOIAW Member Camilla Trinchieri speaks about her new novel, Seeking Alice. Light refreshments will be provided. Signed copies of the book will be available for purchase.
Seeking Alice is the gripping story of love and loss that centers on Marco, an Italian diplomat; Alice, his American wife; and their young children. Stationed in German occupied Prague during World War II, Marco and Alice become enemies when the United States enters the war, forcing Alice and the children to move from Prague to Rome and finally to Cernobbio in a desperate attempt to flee to Switzerland. Through alternating passages narrated by Alice and daughter Susie, readers shuttle back and forth between war-torn Europe and 1950s Massachusetts to search for answers and unravel the mystery about what really happened to Alice during the war.
