Siracusa

mesmerizing...
seductive and edgy...

Advance Praise–

SIRACUSA is an Italian aria, a Greek tragedy and a modern American masterpiece written by Delia Ephron at the height of her powers. This is a story of two complicated marriages, one vulnerable child and a trip to Italy that changes each of their lives forever. Secrets, lies, love raging, love dying and the shame of unrealized potential are exposed in detail under the Sicilian sun.
—Adriana Trigiani

Delia Ephron’s Siracusa is a stunning portrait of two marriages coming unraveled during the stress of travel abroad. Insightful and engaging. A must read!
—Sue Grafton

New York Times Best Seller!

Isn’t It Romantic?: Delia Ephron’s novel “Siracusa,” new at No. 16 on the hardcover fiction list, follows two unhappily married couples on an Italian vacation. Ephron herself visited the title city (in Sicily) almost a decade ago, she told a Chicago newspaper recently. “I thought it’s the most magical place I’ve ever been,” she said. “It immediately seemed to me like the most perfect setting for a novel where couples go on vacation and because of the problems in their marriages things get catastrophic.”
