The English-language debut of the acclaimed international
bestseller—Anywhere but Home crosses continents, cultures, and
generations to tell a sweeping story of self-discovery, finding
your own place in a new world, and the revelatory mysteries of
being a family. Milan, 2014. Julia, a young and brilliant German
designer, is about to launch the fashion show that could bring the
breakthrough success she has sacrificed so much to achieve. All her
dreams for the future are on the brink of reality—until an
unknown past comes to find her. A grandfather she never knew
existed approaches her with an astonishing claim. Julia’s father,
believed dead for decades, is still alive. As a great lie is
revealed, Julia embarks on a journey to uncover the lost pieces of
her past. It takes her on a tour through Italy—from Milan to
Naples to Sicily, back three generations to an immigrant heritage
that struggled to build new roots in Germany after the war, and to
secrets that have remained hidden for sixty years. Milan, 1954.
Vincent, a handsome German engineer for BMW, arrives with the task
of testing the Isetta, a revolutionary Italian car. His interpreter
is the talented and enigmatic Giulietta, and the two soon fall
passionately in love. Giulietta is full of life and dreams—she
loves to design and sew clothes—but is held back by her family,
who emigrated from Sicily, and by a promise that already binds her
to another man. She will find herself forced to choose between love
and duty, freedom and tradition—it is a choice that will mark the
fate of generations to come. A saga of love and loss between two
people and two countries, Anywhere but Home is a heartbreakingly
beautiful story of forging new lives across foreign landscapes and
cultures, of old wounds and forgiveness, and of the enduring bonds
of family.
