When a Hollywood producer comes to Oriana at the end of her life to propose a movie, the story unfolds of her gutsy career rise as a journalist, her tragic love, and her greatest regret.
Oriana Fallaci was born a rebel. She fought beside her father at age fourteen in Italy's Resistance against the Nazis and overcame poverty, the lack of a university education, and relentless sexism in the newsroom. By 1973 when she moved to New York, Oriana Fallaci was hailed by Newsweek as the greatest interviewer of her day. She became famous for her courageous and hard-hitting interviews with Kissinger, Arafat, Meir, Khomeini and other world leaders-not to mention the most prominent celebrities and artists of her day.
That same year, 1973, she did what no journalist is supposed to do: she fell in love with one of her subjects, Alexander Panagoulis, the Greek poet and hero. She was 44, he was 34; they lived in different countries. It didn't matter. Oriana had finally found what she longed for: a full life. But can a woman ever have it all, or does life always exact a price?
Oriana is the first novel about the glamorous and fearless Italian journalist whom Christiane Amanpour has called her role model for asking tough questions--and who holds a place beside Mike Wallace and Barbara Walters when naming world-class interviewers. This biographical novel tells the story of one of the first women to break through the glass ceiling of journalism, a woman who wasn't afraid to speak truth to power and who revolutionized her field, all while trying to balance her career with love and happiness.
For readers who loved Hidden Figures and stories about women who succeed as women in realms traditionally reserved for men.
