The apartment in Rome

de Penny Feeny

Ambitious art photographer Gina lives a glamorous life in bustling Rome. Her edgy shots of refugees have been receiving rave reviews and commissions for future work, and things in her personal life have finally settled down. But just when she thinks she can sit back and relax in the apartment she was left by her unconventional husband, a chance encounter sends her world into a tailspin. Sasha, an exchange student from England, had been excited to come on an adventure to Rome. But when she arrives the reality of living in the busy city is a sharp shock. Taking refuge with Gina in her art-crammed apartment, Sasha befriends one of the refugee models from Gina's work. But this innocent act complicates Gina's busy creative life more than either of them knows. From her precious apartment Gina juggles her hectic life and relationships. But there are men in Rome who wield power and influence in devious ways and Gina has to fight them - and some painful memories - if she is to keep hold of her hard-fought independence.
