Rome in June. Yellow stones steeped in heat and history. Into the city steps Rachel O¹Malley, commissioned to interview the reclusive young literary sensation Emanuel Cellini, whose first novel transposes the story of Phaedra¹s incestuous love to the 21st century. What, readers wonder, are the links between the events in this book and Emanuel¹s own life as the son of Giorgio Cellini, one of Italy¹s top politicians? Rachel too lives in the shadow of a famous father, novelist Frank O¹Malley, and has spent a lifetime choosing men unwisely. As she pursues Cellini family secrets, she makes unsettling discoveries about desire and danger and the bond between mothers and sons. A compelling literary thriller from an award-winning poet, novelist, and biographer.
