Romance Fiction
Silvia Junior: a 42-year-old Italo-Australian workaholic whose nailed career success but flunked personal fulfilment.
Enter her mother, Silvia Senior: a widowed Italian matriarch. Their relationship is equal parts love, loathing and mutual dependency, a tangle of guilt, meatballs and inherited trauma. When an old friend resurfaces, Junior's carefully collapsed world starts to expand. There's flirting, there's dancing, there's actual joy. Shockingly, Senior gets swept up in the action too, dipping a cautious toe into the world of dating.
