'From the mountains of an ancient Sicilian village, to the ornate cafes and lounges of Palermo...

'From the humid North Queensland cane-fields, to a Catholic convent in Melbourne’s north...

'A Leopard’s Kiss entwines two dreamlike stories of change and becoming. 

'In a time of upheaval, Tomasi di Lampedusa, the last Prince in a long and noble Sicilian line, endures the frustration and joy of writing his famous novel, The Leopard, whilst nearby a young couple farewell their home to settle in far-off Australia. 

'Beautifully written in a sparkling and poetic style, A Leopard’s Kiss provides a vivid new account of the pathos of migration'
