Nicky Pellegrino Talks About Latest Novel At City Library
Nicky Pellegrino Talks About Latest Novel At
City Library
Dunedin
(Tuesday 28 August 2012) – Bestselling author,
Nicky Pellegrino, will be at the Dunedin City Library on
Monday 3 September from 7.00pm, to talk about her latest
novel, When in Rome.
Pellegrino, a
regular columnist for NZ Woman’s Weekly and the
NZ Herald, releases her latest novel today, and it is
expected to be as popular as her past offerings;
including Recipe for Life (2010) and The Italian
Wedding (2009), which spent more than thirty
weeks in the New Zealand bestsellers chart.
Born and raised in Liverpool, England; Pellegrino’s Italian father instilled in his daughter a passion for his home country, with regular visits to his family, and the food that is synonymous with Italy. When she met and married a New Zealander, her heart may have moved across the globe, but her connections to Italy remained strong, and holiday time is now hoarded so that Pellegrino can return, to reunite with family, reconnect with the food and gather inspiration.
When in Rome is set in the glamorous ‘La Dolce Vita’ era of the 1950s, and follows the exploits of Seraphina, a young woman scraping a living as a busker, with her sisters, on the streets of Rome. When she falls in love with two difficult men, she experiences both joy and heartbreak, and finds her own future is at risk from the difficult choices she has to make.
Pellegrino promises to
be a warm and engaging speaker, and audience members will be
free to ask questions, purchase copies of her work, and
bring along their own collection to be personally
signed.
Audience members are encouraged to
book their ticket in advance. For bookings, phone 474 3690
or email library@dcc.govt.nz
