Lemon Blossoms [Paperback]

2016 Finalist for Romance, Foreword INDIE

Angelica Domenico is born in a blossoming lemon grove, a prophetic fusion of sweet bloom and bitter fruit on an island governed by volcanoes and earthquakes.

In the continuation of Nina Romanos epic Wayfarer Trilogy, an early childhood accident propels Angelica to battle trials in a world where proof of virginity is paramount. She su ers the trauma of her aunts death in childbirth and is catapulted on a voyage towards the nunnery to seek refuge from a fear of intimacy. Fate intervenes on the Feast of Cruci
xion when Giacomo Scimenti enters the family shop, and Angelica feels herself rent by lightning the instant they come face to face.

Lemon Blossomsis the story of Angelicas struggle in pursuit of feminine identity and heritage while coping with the intricacies of loss, love, and yearning.

Nina Romano knows that only what passes is of lasting value, that we are in danger of losing everything we need, including our histories, our families, our love, and ourselves. Her prose is luminous, lyrical, and passionate. Romano has what Nabokov calledshamanstvo, the enchanter qualityshe casts a spell and creates magic on the page. She carries you away to a more vivid and compelling world than the one you live in. Read her tales and remind yourself why you fell in love with books in the first place.
