We are all searching for something... for answers... for love... or God perhaps. (Many would say for happiness.) Or could it be for those precious unexpected moments when life hovers pain-free...life's 'cameos'?
As for the enigmatic Giulia, her search to uncover family truths finds her caught between two colliding worlds, or maybe three or four. Where exactly does she fit in? Should she speak of what she discovers?
She finds solace in the beauty of the natural world and in man's highest creative achievements set against her own strict Catholic formation.
But nature can also destroy... and not all of humankind sets out to make our time on Earth more bearable, more poetic.
Each chapter... or 'cameo'... tells a little story of its own, each slotted within the bigger picture of Giulia's journey. She is not alone. She has the support of a dear friend and, whether she likes it or not, of an elusive man in the outer shadows of her existence.
