When she was just fourteen, Helena Frith Powell travelled to Italy to meet the father she hadn’t seen for almost ten years. She got lost on the beach looking for him and was suddenly enveloped by a strong pair of arms and the words: “ciao bella, I recognised you by your legs”. He introduced her to Italy and her Italian family and tomorrow Martha will be talking to her about attempting to make her first confession and having to learn Italian through the writings of Dante.
Ciao Bella: In Search of My Italian Father by Helena Frith Powell is published by Gibson Square. ISBN: 9781903933817 | |
