“Valentino & I" alternates between reality and fantasy, love and intrigue without time. The novel is a contemporary diary where everything changes and nothing is what it seems. Anna will get to know Rudolph Valentino, and together they live a passion rich of adventure, fun and humour, the story will leave the reader breathless to the very last page.
After being transported back to the Roaring Twenties, our main character becomes immersed in the quiet life of the countryside, leaving behind the stunts and adventures with gangsters in order to hide herself from the many admirers of the famous Rodolfo Valentino. This tranquillity, however, will be turned upside down by a certain desire of Anna's, which she will eventually express on the day of her 30th wedding anniversary. Without interruption, she will be transported through time and through countless adventures, to rediscover something that she would never think to be possible to witness with her own eyes: to come into personal contact with a past shrouded in mystery and to forever be an object of interest to the fans of Valentino. Each time period for the main character acts as a subway stop, where the destinations are not represented by places, but instead by years. Who wouldn't want to get to know, up close and personal, the life of the great lover? The amazement of travelling through time, accompanied with many invigorating skirmishes between the two protagonists, is still one of the key elements throughout the course of the novel. After "Valentino and I – Timeless Love" and "My Fabulous Roaring Twenties", the "Valentino and I" trilogy finishes with "Walking Through life". But this is just a quick goodbye, as the mystery lies right around the corner.
After having faked his own death, Rudolph Valentino returns to Anna. Having forsaken fame and fortune, he has assumed a new identity in order to live freely with the woman he loves, unfettered by time and space. A country house, a child in the works... It all seems so perfect. But how did Rudolph take Anna back in time? What is the mystery behind their love story? It begins again, veiled in mystery and a pinch of joy... Life or death, fantasy or reality. The actor takes on the role of the common man. Lost in time, Rudolph Valentino and Anna plunge into adventure with an agility worthy of the best acrobats. The common denominator is, as always, love. Anna and Rudolph, whether they are in the roaring twenties, the present or the future, continue their adventure beyond time and space, clutching onto that wanderlust that characterizes them. A new and exciting chapter of the duo’s adventure, guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat until the last page. Don’t be fooled. You know how it is: nothing is as it seems.
