The Sunlight Stage

In Rome, a shy young Englishwoman named Julia meets Ennio. The two fall in love, but theirs will be a troubled affair, shrouded in secrecy and constantly under threat. For Italy in 1979 is a country of violent politics : a dangerous, heady time, filled with bitter hope and fear -and Ennio is one of the country's most wanted men, a member of the notorious terrorist group, Sinistra Armata. Twenty years on, their daughter Lotte, brought up by her grand mother in London, knows nothing of her parents' love affair, or the shocking events leading up to her birth. But on discovering the truth, she journeys in Italy to reclaim her past -only to find her mother's story haunting her more forcefully than she could have believed.
