Synopsis

The third book in The Sarasota Trilogy by Award-Winning Author and Poet Piero Rivolta, The Castaway is the story of a man adrift on a broken catamaran in the Gulf of Mexico who’s rescued and brought to a care facility in the Yucatan run by an unconventional Jesuit. He seems to remember nothing of his past except his name. To speed his recovery, the priest engages him in searching conversations and introduces him to a captivating woman in town who runs a school for children. As their three lives intertwine and their secrets come to light, they become entangled in a complex web of emotions. Told in poetic prose, The Castaway, which continues the story begun in Sunset in Sarasota, is a meditation on the nature of memory, love and friendship, and offers a profound affirmation of the healing power of words. PRAISE FOR PIERO RIVOLTA and SUNSET IN SARASOTA, THE PREQUEL TO THE CASTAWAY: “Piero Rivolta’s writings are the work of a philosophical romantic and a poet.” --- Pat Kaufman, author of Hamlet’s Mother in Love “Author Piero Rivolta has written a book that I found very moving and poignant… His Sunset in Sarasota is a must read for anyone who longs for a story about life’s mysteries and joys.” --- Jack Roberts, Cable Network, Los Angeles “What a great movie this book would make! It has a marvelous, touching story and the characters jump off the page at you.” --- Joe Mazz, Genesis Satellite Radio Network “Piero Rivolta nails the layers of love, devotion and driving passion to excel in Sunset in Sarasota. In many ways, the novel totally transcends the fictive and drives home the eternal truth that love and passion must be balanced between self-definition, our personal productivity and commitment to the people who love us.” --- Vin Smith, America First Radio
