✨The Heart Is A Burial Ground

I will describe it as best I can. This is their story. Or perhaps just mine. Let us begin, ' On a brisk day in 1970, a daughter arrives at her mother's home to take care of her as she nears the end of her life. Home' is the sprawling Italian castle of Roccasinibalda, and Diana's mother is the legendary Caresse Crosby, one half of literature's most scandalous couple in 1920s Paris, widow of Harry Crosby, the American heir, poet and publisher who epitomised theLost Generation'. But it was not only Harry who was lost. Their incendiary love story concealed a darkness that marked mercurial Diana and still burns through the generations: through Diana's troubled daughters Elena and Leonie, and Elena's young children.
