Twice Born
by Margaret Mazzantini
Mazzantini?s international bestseller is a remarkable story of one woman?s ability to love and overcome loss.
Twice Born: By Margaret Mazzantini 464 pages. Viking. $26.95 In this emotional tale, Gemma embarks on a haunting trip from her native Rome to postwar Sarajevo with her 16-year-old son, Pietro, to teach him about the city where he was born and about Diego, his deceased father. Upon their arrival, Sarajevo evokes conflicting memories for Gemma of a devastating four-year war but also of her late husband, whom she met in the city before moving to Italy to marry and have a child. Switching from the present to the past, Gemma recalls the painful period 10 years after their move: heartbroken that she had not yet conceived a child, Gemma and Diego were forced to cope with personal struggles amid political fears, as the violent Bosnian war besieged Yugoslavia. Beautifully rendered, Twice Born is a testament to love?s power over hate and the promise of new beginnings.
