Camilla Trinchieri Author: AARP Book Review

May 5, 2009

AARP Book Review

Though this book review is from August 2007, it's great to finally find it. One of the aspects of book reviews is that the authors don't necessarily hear of them, and they aren't always easy to find.

The AARP recommended the Price of Silence:

"In this gripping, intelligent psychological thriller, Emma Perotti, an ESL teacher in Manhattan, folds one of her young Chinese students into her family, with dire results. Particularly compelling are the book's subtle insights into the nature of family and foreignness and the lies we tell ourselves and others even when our intentions are good."

Finding Alice to be Published in Italian as Cercando Alice, January 2010

Welcome! Ciao! Benvenuti! Ola! Marhaba! Huan Ying!

Thank you for stopping by at this rest stop on the internet highway. So much to look at, so much to find.

Camilla Trinchieri is an exciting and interesting author with 8 books to her name and essays and stories in several anthologies. She's published a fun mystery series The Trouble With , and now she's got a psychological thriller that's got a real grip.

Camilla is a great story teller, with tremendous heart and insight. Her multinational, multicultural upbringing gives a ready richness to her writing. She's got a keen eye also, honed in part through years in the film industry.

So if you have time, stop and take a look at her work, especially this latest book, The Price of Silence, which is a real page turner. It's like going for a roller coaster ride with some real gems along the way.
