Autor Lou Pechi
en Limba Engleză Paperback
PIRRY His latest fiction novel inspired by the life of his mother, takes place on two continents, before, during, and after the Second World War. It is a story of love lost and finally found. Pirry, a gawky tomboy, transforms from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan. The loss of her mother to cancer at a tender age of twelve shatters Pirry's idyllic life. Her father, unable to take care of her, shuttles her from relative to relative. Danko, a young noble prince comes to her recue to ask for her hand. Pirry's religious father absolutely forbids the marriage and sends the young man away. Pirry, with child in her womb, marries Nisan in order to give the child legitimacy. Pirry's miscarriage after her wedding takes away what little remained of her first love for Danko. Her marriage, to Nisan not planted in loving soil, wilts; and with Nisan's infidelity with a young girl almost breaks apart. The outbreak of war and the prosecution by the Nazis puts the marriage on hold as both Pirry and Nisan escape to Italy. After the liberation of Rome by the Allies, Nisan joins the Partizans in Yugoslavia and Pirry meets and falls deeply in love with Frank, a handsome US Navy officer of Croatian descent. Divorce from Nisan, proposal from Frank, marriage in the Vatican, and a boat and airplane trip to San Diego follow in quick succession. Pirry, deeply disappointed having to live with Frank's unsophisticated parents, considers returning back to Italy only to find she is pregnant. Over strong objections of her in-laws Pirry and Frank purchase to house of their own. She gives birth to twins, a boy Dan, and a daughter, Ana. In the end all that was ever taken away from her is finally restored: her country, her love of Danko by Frank, the child she lost replaced by her baby boy, Dan, and the loss of her mother by her baby girl, Anna.
