Last year we published news (article here) about the first book, “Italian Blood British Heart” in the Blood Heart Trilogy by Robert Rossi.
This week comes news of his second book in the trilogy to be published- “Jewish Blood Italian Heart ”
My first novel ITALIAN BLOOD BRITISH HEART was conceived by chance. I discovered the family story of a distant relative who was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest honour for bravery and gallantry in the UK. The story touched my soul and so it was fictionalised.
Following its grand success, JEWISH BLOOD ITALIAN HEART now follows. This novel continues with the same theme, an adventure through the history of Italian emigration, and captivating personal experiences during World War 2. It’s loosely based on the life of my Nonno – Robert Rossi
Marina is ten years of age. She has been excited for weeks and the day has finally arrived to receive her medal from the country’s leader. Marina can’t understand why she has been shunned. A hornet’s nest is stirred and a centuries old secret can no longer be hidden. Nightmares are resurrected.
An epic family saga which travels through history, Marina’s grandparents emigrate to find solace and peace. However, their torment continues as freedom proves to be elusive.
The family lies fractured and is desperate in its search for contentment. Only when Marina’s father seeks out the ultimate prize at the other side of the world can the family’s past remain dormant.
JEWISH BLOOD ITALIAN HEART is inspired by real people and true events.
