About this listen
Shore's debut historical fiction novel, Terribilita, is a can't-put-'er-down-'er with just the right amount of adrenaline coursing through it.
“Shore captures not only the war and politics of the time period, but the romantic lens through which the characters view their world” (Kirkus Reviews)
The rebel caprices of Enzo Ferrando have dire consequences. His father, the Risorgimento war hero is gunned down on his veranda. His son Lucca is forced into hiding as a deckhand on a merchant ship. Enzo himself is conscripted into the Italian army and forced to wage war on the African Horn, yet he yearns to take vengeance on his father’s killers and to reunite with his son.
Set in the second half of the 19th century, Terribilita is a coming-of-age tale about family, and an examination of the redemptive power of violence. In this drum-tight historical fiction novel, listeners will encounter Bashi-Bazouk mercenaries, blackbirding pirates, Ethiopian army hordes, and historical figures of the era.
