A crumbling farmhouse in Puglia, Casa Rossa was bought by Alina Stradas grandfather at a time when no one else wanted it. Now busy preparing it for sale, Alina endeavors to recover the memories it still harbors-in particular of three women whose passions indelibly shaped her familys dark past. Theres grandmother Renee, whose love of novelty won over everything else. Alinas mother, Alba, whose marriage to a screenwriter inspired both great art and unbearable sadness. Finally Isabella, Alinas sister, whose fervent politics drove her to ever-escalating betrayals. Moving from Jazz Age Paris to 1950s Rome to modern-day New York, but returning always to the uncompromising beauty of Italys south, Casa Rossa is a spellbinding story of how loves and losses, secrets and lies, resonate across the generations.
