Synopsis

Lost Between features a host of established and emerging writers from the immense literary landscapes of both Ireland and Italy. From a father and son emigrating from Famine-stricken Ireland in search of a better life, to a donor looking for meaning in a lost relationship with his son, to Belfast in the turbulent year of 1976, the stories and poems featured in this anthology touch on the sense of displacement that stems from migration, detachment and rapidly shifting social identities. The individual works stand proudly by themselves to leave a lasting impression, and when read together they emerge to form a diverse, soulful and evocative collection that will charm and inspire.

Revue de presse

'intriguing was Gaja Cenciarelli's, Bounded in a Nutshell. The author manages to convey the clinical coldness of Dr Aloisi, as she goes about her work, with great efficiency and no apparent feeling. Honk Kong Fishbowl hasn't been credited to a translator, and the story opens with some gorgeous imagery. Gianpaolo Trevisi's, My Man and Me is a humorous look at corporate behaviour. Another gem is Fabio Bussotti's Francesco, about a policeman who keeps a caring eye out for immigrant children in trouble.' --irish Examiner
