<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><strong>Shore's debut historical fiction novel, Terribilita, is a can't-put-'er-down-'er with just the right amount of adrenaline coursing through its pages. </strong> <p/><strong>"Shore captures not only the war and politics of the time period, but the romantic lens through which the characters view their world" (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>)</strong> <p/><strong>"'Terribilita' is a term used to describe how a piece of art evokes emotion from a viewer, be it awe, terror, or a subtler reaction. Good art makes you feel. Author Ben Wyckoff Shore delivers plenty of thrills, chills, and romance in his novel TERRIBILITA." (<i>IndieReader</i>)</strong> <p/>The rebel caprices of Enzo Ferrando have dire consequences. His father, the Risorgimento war hero is gunned down on his veranda. His son Lucca is forced into hiding as a deckhand on a merchant ship. Enzo himself is conscripted into the Italian army and forced to wage war on the African Horn, yet he yearns to take vengeance on his father's killers and to reunite with his son. <p/>Set in the second half of the 19th century, Terribilita is a coming of age tale about family, and an examination of the redemptive power of violence. In this drum tight historical fiction novel, readers will encounter Bashi-Bazouk mercenaries, blackbirding pirates, Ethiopian army hordes, and historical figures of the era.<i>Cinder Block Publishing is contributing a portion of the book's profits to the American Red Cross for Disaster Relief.</i>
