Port of No Return
By Michelle Saftich
Contessa and Ettore Saforo awake to a normal day in
war-stricken, occupied Italy. By the end of the day, their house is in ruins
and they must seek shelter and protection wherever they can. But the turbulent
politics of 1944 refuses to let them be.
As Tito and his Yugoslav Army threaten their
German-held town of Fiume, Ettore finds himself running for his life, knowing
that neither side is forgiving of those who have assisted the enemy. His wife
and children must also flee the meagre life their town can offer, searching for
a better life as displaced persons.
Ettore and Contessa’s battle to find each other, and
the struggle of their family and friends to rebuild their lives in the
aftermath of a devastating war, provide a rich and varied account of Italian
migration to Australia after World War II.
What can you do when you have nowhere left to call
home? Port of No Return considers this question and more in a novel that is
full of action, pain and laughter — a journey you will want to see through to
the very end.
Port of No Return is the first novel in a series of
two.
