2 1 y separately published work icon An Italian Down Under: A Migrant Woman's Tale Cloris De Matteis , Trafford , 2008 2008 single work autobiography 'Right from the beginning this enthralling story confronts the reader with the seemingly endless difficulties that Italian immigrant woman Cloris De Matteis faces 'Down Under' in her new adopted country Australia. Spurned by her family and eventually disappointed by all the men in her life, she tries to cope with a young family in a foreign culture brimming with prejudices and scorn. This is a truly inspiring story - a tale that ends back where it started from, but one that provides a profound insight into the forces that drive someone to seek a new life on the other side of the world and later is courageous enough to admit and analyse her wrong decisions. It is a refreshing outsider's view of the diverse struggles she discovers 'Down Under' and the battles to overcome them. -- From the publisher's website at http://www.trafford.com/07-2580.

1 y separately published work icon Celeste Rivere and the Cup of Destiny W.J.P. Holgar , Victoria : Trafford , 2004 Z1441342 2004 single work novel fantasy

'Celeste is an archetypal heroine for modern times: a courageous young girl searching for knowledge in a stymied environment. Interspersed with humorous character portraits and parodies of today's institutions, Celeste Rivere and the Cup of Destiny follows an individual's struggles against overwhelming odds in her search for life's meaning: metaphorically a journey from the sleepy village where she was raised to the lofty mountains she yearns to climb. Fairy tales, myths and legends are blended with themes drawn from philosophers of the twentieth century; a potent amalgam that brings these ideas into a tangible form that is easily accessible to readers of all ages. Mystical or a tantalizing fantasy—you be the judge. What is next for our valiant and intrepid heroine? Watch for the second book in the series'.
