Bøger af Tony Ardizzone

A young Croatian woman travels to Medugorje in Bosnia and Herzegovina, site of apparitions of the Virgin Mary, where she meets an angel and witnesses a miracle. Twenty years later, after living in a cloistered convent, she travels to Rome where her habit of prayer transforms the lives of seven strangers. Their stories intertwine and connect in this portrayal of several Roman churches, the art of Bernini, Caravaggio, and Borromini, and Rome's rich architectural history.

Ardizzone writes of the moments in our lives that shine in the dim expanse of memory with the intensity and vivid light of the evening news. Searching their pasts for clues to the present, searching the horizons of their days for love, the characters seek, and sometimes find, redemption in a world of uncertainty and brightly burning emotions.

The story of a close-knit family's emigration from Sicily to America in the early 1900s. Wanting more for their family than a lifetime of servitude, Papa Santuzzu and his wife push their seven children to emigrate, one by one, to La Merica.
