Bacigalupa's CASA BACI


For Having Offended Thee


A Novel

Baltimore-born Kirstin de Furia is a wild woman at the core, determined to flee the strictures of postwar East Coast literary society into which she married and bond with her genetic roots in Tuscany. Are her compulsions mere madness, or a genuine and passionate search for self? Self-absorption, or the only way open to an ecstatic personal integrity?

Deserting her famous husband and brilliant young son in New York to the world of internationally celebrated artists in Italy, Kirstin falls in love with painter Paolo Dardi and bears his "love-child." The world's media -- paparazzi, the press, television -- launch a scandal from which there's no retreat, and which becomes legend.


"... the author's instinct for human understanding -- of compassion for a man's or woman's frailities, of the timeless urge to integrity and peace with one's world -- makes Bacigalupa's people live."
Richard Polese, Southwest Book Views
