6 Australians, published in October 2020, recounts the magical bond between a teenager from a village in southern Tuscany and the Australian band INXS, led by the charismatic and beloved Michael Hutchence. It's a journey of just over ten years (from 1986 to 1997) into the wonders of memory, music, history, geology and beautiful landscapes.
Youth memories started unraveling and instances of joy, laughter, friendship, camaraderie and love came to light".
Glory moments, published in June 2023, maintains the narrative characteristics of 6 Australians: the opportunity to arrange old drawings and photographs triggers a process of focusing on the past, and the memory of loved ones, amusing stories, impressions and the connection to legendary figures such as Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, Gilles Villeneuve and Michael Hutchence resurface.
"When, among the thousands of images you glimpse on the horizon, one calls out to you and captures your attention, there is the unveiling of the truth: you can understand your nature, the reason for your choices in life and enjoy that sense of fullness that makes you happy".
Hi Steve. What a nice surprise is this blog page!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, thank-you for your beautiful books, exuding great style and elegance, passion and sensibility.
Each page of “6 Australians” touched me deeply, brought me back in time to wonderful moments of my youth. Your memories are beautiful and your quotes on Michael are extremely delicate…
I also greatly enjoyed “Glory moments”. It is a pleasant and touching, perhaps somewhat nostalgic book, which reveals your sensible and unselfish attitude.
All the best,
Alessandra

Thank you so much Deborah, I'm very pleased you liked "6 Australians", as you already told me in the wonderful review on FB page! For you, who are the second to write on the blog, the prize is an electric Fiat 500! Best regards
DeleteI read 6 Australians, good book. I need to get busy and read, Glory Moments. Hope you write more books. Best of luck with your new blog . ~Michelle~
ReplyDeleteIn 6 Australians I got a big hand from Michael Hutchence, without a doubt. He always inspired me and brought out the best of me. In Glory moments I had to roll up my sleeves and do it by myself... even if Michael appears there too! I honestly hope you like it as much but it's a little early to say now! Thank you anyway for your appreciation and trust.
