| Description |
A seemingly simple tale: garrulous, demanding, septugenarian Nonna Mare looks back at herself as Leonora, a girl from a small Italian village, at Alfredo who plucked her off to Australia and left her with two babies for the "exotic" company of Anglo-Saxon Julia...A Little Like Drowning is about the gap between the flawless and impractical beauty of our dreams and the frailty of our humanity. |
