El Dorado Hills, CA (PRWEB) March 11, 2006 –- Set on the enchanting island of Sicily in the 1900’s, emerging author Geraldine D. Villalba gives us her first captivating novel, “Addiu, Bedda Sicilia: Goodbye, Beautiful Sicily”. In an era when husbands shoot the offenders, and the townspeople turn their heads, Gino flees his own country when an outraged husband, VIttorio, finds his wife, Carmela, and Gino together – and plots to kill him. Through her provocative writing, you will live the triumphs and tragedies of this Sicilian immigrant as he re-builds his life in America. Based on a true story, Ms. Villalba gives us a compelling tale of love, loss and survival using well-developed characters and a captivating storyline.
“You can't help but fall in love with the main character, Gino, and feel his passions, his heartbreaks, his joys. Everything in this book is obviously written from the heart and the descriptions of everything from the scenery to the food, to the people, bring the story alive. The fact that this story is based on true occurrences, and real people, make it all the more provocative and heart-rendering.” says D. McCord of Mountain View, California in her review of the book on Amazon.com. An excerpt from the book is attached.
