Anna Veneziano

The Revolving Door: a Life Story Anna Veneziano First edition

As far back as she could remember Anna Veneziano felt misplaced, "As is I had slipped into the wrong womb at the wrong time."The daughter of a Baptist minister in a predominantly Catholic country Anna retraces her memories of an Italian girl born under Mussolini's regime, trapped by fears grown out of religious beliefs and the dangers of war. Her experiences come to life on stitch at a time wrapped with a strong sense of place, history, mysticism, folklore, laughter, and tears. After the war, her journey to America brings her to find in her own life the truth which only the story can reveal.
