A Veil of Glass and Rain: Special Edition (A Touch of Cinnamon) (Volume 1) Petra March Special edition

?Delicate and resilient. Like you.? Brina and Eagan meet for the first time when she's nine and he's fourteen. They like each other from the very beginning, though their bond isn't immediate, but it grows over the years. What links them is the fact that their parents are photographers and are extremely devoted to their work and to each other; so much so that both Brina and Eagan have to learn how to take care of themselves from a very young age. Despite their differences, age, gender, nationality - Brina is Italian and Eagan is American - they find comfort in their growing friendship.  Then Brina becomes a teenager, and her feelings for her friend start changing and deepening. New desires stir within her. As soon as Brina realizes how those feelings complicate her friendship with Eagan, she runs away from him.  A few years later, Brina is twenty and Eagan is twenty-five, they find one another once again. (Recommended for ages 18+, due to sexual content and language).

Bagnardi (aka Petra March).  Praise for ?A Veil of Glass and Rain?: Indie Book of the Day Award Winner, October 2nd 2014. "A Veil of Glass and Rain is a beautifully written, emotionally evocative book that I definitely recommend. The author is, I believe, European, and most of the book takes place in Rome, and the novel had a very European flavor to it that I found refreshing and different from my usual read. It?s hard to describe exactly what I mean, but it reminded me of other French and Italian novels I?ve read?there was a relaxed sensuality to the writing, not only in the love scenes (though those were definitely sensual!) but in the descriptions of scenery, food, emotions, and more." (Stephanie Parent, author of "Precious Things")
