Angelina, the black sheep of the Pagano family, meets the mysterious Mr.
Russell, she has no idea that she has seen him before…in another
country.
And so begins Farewell My Life, a novel in three parts, which spins an operatic tale of dangerous love and loss.
The Lost Mother, the first part of this novel, slices back
and forth between time and space, opening in the charming village of
Georgetown, Washington D.C. while reflecting a family’s troubled past in
the lovely village of Marostica in the Italian Veneto.
An Unsuitable Suitor, the second part of the novel, is a
Cinderella-ish tale with not-so-charming princes who inhabit the edgy
setting of 1920s Berlin.
Farewell My Life, the last part of the novel, set again in
Berlin, Germany, during the dark 1930s as the Nazis gain power, takes
comfortable lives, assumptions and civilizations and crumbles them into
ash.
And all of this revolves around Grace, Angelina’s younger daughter,
whose fabulous talent for the violin promises a shimmering career.
30 years ago she surfaced in the United States, inhabiting the
Mid-Atlantic region as she wound her way through four careers:
violinist, cognitive scientist, medical writer, and novelist.
Her first novel, Thwarted Queen a fictionalized biography of Lady
Cecylee Neville (1415-1495), the mother of Richard III (whose bones were
recently found under a car-park in Leicester,) was shortlisted for many
awards, including the 2012 Eric Hoffer New Horizon Award for debut
authors. To date, sales have surpassed 38,000 copies.
Cynthia graduated with an MFA in Creative Writing from Lesley
University, Cambridge MA, in June 2015. When she’s not annoying everyone
by insisting her fictional characters are more real than they are,
Cynthia likes to go for long walks, knit something glamorous, cook in
her wonderful kitchen, and play the piano.
