AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This collection of thirteen stories brings Rosanne Dingli's recollections of Malta vividly to life. Some are family anecdotes, some are folkloric, and others are figments of the author's imagination. The reader's task is to distinguish which is which. In all the stories, one can feel the atmosphere and enjoy the descriptions of place, time and people, whether they embellish a mystery, a journey, a lover's dilemma or a family saga' (publication blurb).

Notes

  • In memory of the author's mother Pheny Dingli.
