Insightful and engaging. A must-read "" --Sue Grafton, author of X ""Siracusa is an Italian aria, a Greek tragedy and a modern American master-piece 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. And, like the Moro blood oranges that grow there with abandon, the taste is both sour and sweet at once, but the bitterness that remains is not only haunting but unforgettable."" --Adriana Trigiani, author of The Shoemaker's Wife ""Siracusa is an unusually crackling, tricky journey into the distant land of other people's marriages: their secrets, paradoxes, weaknesses, and plea-sures. Delia Ephron writes like a warm-blooded Patricia Highsmith, her sto-ry's treachery matched by a deep and easy feel for the various human, imperfect ways that people find themselves bound together, and sometimes painstakingly unbind themselves. An absorbing, tense, and original novel."" --Meg Wolitzer, author of The Interestings Now in paperback, the electrifying novel--described as a ""suspenseful, thoroughly delicious tale"" by People Magazine--about marriage and deceit from bestselling author Delia Ephron that follows two couples on vacation in Siracusa, a town on the coast of Sicily, where the secrets they have hidden from each other are exposed and relationships are unraveled.
