An electrifying novel about marriage and deceit from
bestselling author Delia Ephron that follows two couples on
vacation in Siracusa, a town on the coast of Sicily, where
the secrets they have hidden from one another are exposed
and relationships are unraveled. New Yorkers Michael, a famous writer, and Lizzie, a
journalist, travel to Italy with their friends from
Maine—Finn; his wife, Taylor; and their daughter, Snow.
“From the beginning,” says Taylor, “it was a conspiracy for
Lizzie and Finn to be together.” Told Rashomon-style in
alternating points of view, the characters expose and
stumble upon lies and infidelities past and present. Snow,
ten years old and precociously drawn into a far more adult
drama, becomes the catalyst for catastrophe as the novel
explores collusion and betrayal in marriage. With her inimitable psychological astuteness and uncanny
understanding of the human heart, Ephron delivers a powerful
meditation on marriage, friendship, and the meaning of
travel. Set on the sun-drenched coast of the Ionian Sea,
SIRACUSA unfolds with the pacing of a psychological thriller
and delivers an unexpected final act that none will see coming.
