THE VEIL
About the Author and His Work
Gian Luca Caffarena lives and works as a journalist and writer in Turin. He was born and spent his formative years in the port city of Genoa, whose streets and society provide the backdrop for his works of fiction.
The Veil is dynastic noir which traces the waning wealth, influence, and status of a powerful, industrial, Catholic family during the twentieth century. The bourgeois values and moral integrity of the family, underpinned by a strong faith in the ethos of hard work, deference, and tradition, are threatened by social unrest, political protest and the degeneracy of members of its own younger generation. A series of ambiguous deaths leads to the veil of euphemisms and half-truths being lifted to reveal what is hidden below. The religious fervour, convention and decorum of high Genovese society are forced to confront the misery and squalor of the city's poorest and most ancient quarters. Ultimately, the veil falls away to reveal an unimagined reality.
