PRAIANO - The Heart of the Amalfi Coast

Goliard Purpo and Skipo Pane have been friends since the earliest vestiges of their own consciousness. Theirs is a bond of familiarity and legacy; levity and lampooning mask an emotional connection that will undergo a test of magnitude most relationships will never face. The events of one fateful night will set into motion a series of circumstances promising to alter the course of countless lives in tiny Praiano, and many more far beyond this idyllic coastline. This novel spans several continents with characters whose lives infuse the very pages they inhabit. Beyond the compelling aesthetic of the setting, Praiano traverses the internal mechanics of the human mind as it traces the events that alter the lives of the two friends. No conventional precept or putative morality escapes scrutiny as the novel examines the cosmic wheel that encompasses not only Goliard and Skipo but the greater sphere of human existence.
