HARASSMENT

“Truth is the cry of all, but the game of the few”, and Rudy Sammarco, a British lawyer of mixed Italo-Somali origin and a writer manqué, will soon discover that nothing is what it seems. His wife, who to all appearances is so attracted to him, has dumped him for a fat cat. Then it’s a coup de foudre with Paola, the graceful, enchanting Tuscan girl with a touch of Renaissance glamour who has just showed up at his office for legal advice as a victim of brutal harassment: but he cannot tell if she too feels for him, or is still bewitched by her psychopathic persecutor, or worse, has had a fling with his own father. He cherishes the memory of his mother, who killed herself, but Rudy wants to know why—because his father walked out on her, or because she loved his uncle, a physician turned herdsman who has downshifted to the countryside? Everybody comes up with a different version of their own biography...
