Presentation

     The setting is the Apulia region, at the beginning of the 20th century. Amalia is a young girl growing up in a humble, traditional family. She soon knows that she doesn't want  the same life as her mother and the other women around her. People find her strange. She feels different. One day, she meets a handsome, green-eyed Turkish sailor who tells her about having swam across the Black Sea. With such a man, thinks Amalia, she will be able to follow her dreams. The young couple decides to leave the red land of Tornavalo and try their luck in Alexandria. Amalia is pregnant - expecting a little girl - it is too late to back out and she embarks on a new life that will have its share of upheavals.

     Sylvie Tanette is a journalist, Amalia Albanesi is her first novel.
