"The truth is I was glad he was dead... I wanted to celebrate his death..."Her father's death proves the trigger for Francesca Tomasi, the first-born daughter of a Sicilian immigrant family living in Australia, to relive events she never should have witnessed. At the tender age of twelve, Francesca is brought face to face with an ugly reality that forces her to bury secrets and wrestle with choices no one should ever have to make. Her struggle becomes one of survival as she defies attempts to silence her.Trapped in a psychological web of fear, jealousy and deceit, Francesca learns that what she needs most is also her greatest threat.Fly, Francesca, Fly is the story of one woman's struggle to free herself from the shackles of culture and history imposed on her by her Sicilian parents and extended family. When her father dies, a middle aged Australian-born woman of Sicilian parents writes a letter to her mother expressing her thoughts and feelings about events that took place in the family, in order to arrive at some internal peace. Unable to trust anyone, she describes how she struggled to survive on her own through PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, and suicidal tendencies.

It is 1596. "Affection is false. Love is an illusion” - says the elderly Queen of England. But who is deceiving whom? In the aftermath of her sister’s elopement, sober, scholarly Frances Randolph becomes entangled with the sons of Lord Cobham, one of the queen's most powerful councillors: Henry, the indecisive heir; William, the adventurer and risk-taker; and George, the youngest and cleverest. In a whirl of parties and evening entertainments she is drawn into a new circle of acquaintances whose lives at court seem incredibly glamorous. But when overwhelming grief leads to a reckless decision, Frances embarks on a future course which leads her to question the queen’s words. In My Francesca we follow Frances as she embraces this world of pretence and deceit, where nothing is quite what it seems, where courtiers fear for their futures, and evil lurks in the darkest corners of men's souls.

Believed to be a modern-day Holy Virgin, a shy teen fears the changes in her life while she longs for her absent father, in a tale also told from the viewpoints of a homeless man, her scientific-minded mother, and her troubled friend. A first novel. Reader's Guide available. Reprint. 50,000 first printing.
Largely neglected for the four centuries after his death, the fifteenth century Italian artist Piero della Francesca is now seen to embody the fullest expression of the Renaissance perspective painter, raising him to an artistic stature comparable with that of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. But who was Piero, and how did he become the person and artist that he was? Until now, in spite of the great interest in his work, these questions have remained largely unanswered. Piero della Francesca: Artist and Man puts that situation right, integrating the story of Piero's artistic and mathematical achievements with the full chronicle of his life for the first time. Fortified by the discovery of over one hundred previously unknown documents, most unearthed by the author himself, James R. Banker at last brings this fascinating Renaissance enigma to life. The book presents us with Piero's friends, family, and collaborators, all set against the social background of the various cities and courts in which he lived - from the Tuscan commune of Sansepolcro in which he grew up, to Renaissance Florence, Ferrara, Ancona, Rimini, Rome, Arezzo, and Urbino, and eventually back to his home town for the final years of his life. As Banker shows, the cultural contexts in which Piero lived are crucial for understanding both the man and his paintings. From early masterpieces such as the Baptism of Christ through to later, Flemish-influenced works such as the Nativity, we gain a fascinating insight into how Piero's art developed over time, alongside his growing achievements in geometry in the later decades of his life. Along the way, the book addresses some persistent myths about this apparently most elusive of artists. As well as establishing a convincing case to clear up the long controversy over the year of Piero's birth, there are also answers to some big questions about the date of some of his major works, and a persuasive new interpretation of the much-debated Flagellation of Christ. This book is for all those who wish to know about the development of Piero as man, artist, and scholar, rather than simply to see him through a series of isolated great works. What emerges is a thoroughly intriguing Renaissance individual, firmly embedded in his social milieu, but forging an historic identity through his profound artistic and mathematical achievements.
