Award Winning Romantic Fiction Novel, The English Professor, By Author Gina Iafrate Allows Readers To Travel To The Mediterranean Without Leaving Home

    WILMINGTON, NC, January 15, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Covid fatigue has set in and most of us have been locked down for months. We have endured restrictions on travel, forcing many of us to delay travel plans, quarantine and shelter in place.

A good book can help take our minds off such things and provide a level of comfort that watching TV or doing endless puzzles cannot provide. If that good book involves traveling to exotic locales, so much the better.

Gina Iafrate writes sweeping family sagas that allow readers to travel the globe without leaving home. Like fine pieces of music, her books are layered, providing readers with intricately formed mental images, punctuated by dramatic movements. In the tradition of writers like Nicholas Sparks and John Grisham, Gina's extraordinary story lines reveal the richness of the human experience told through the eyes of finely drawn characters. Nearly all of her story lines involve rich and tactile descriptions of exotic places, placing the reader in the very midst of those locales.

Iafrate's travel and life experiences have set the scene for much of her writing. Known for her quick-paced narration and descriptive atmosphere, Gina's words take the reader on unforgettable journeys, along with the characters she creates. One of Gina's books, 'The English Professor', takes readers on an adventure to the Mediterranean to the Southern Pacific ocean.

Andrew Robertson, an introverted, middle-aged professor leaves his unremarkable London life to embark on a journey to Sicily where strangers welcome him kindly. In this sensuous Mediterranean setting, he develops a burning infatuation for another man's wife.

Falling into each other's arms, Andrew and Francesca both satisfy and heighten the emotional and physical longing they have felt all their adult lives. Their union results in a child. But Andrew must go back to London and Francesca must protect herself, Andrew and their child from the violent reach of her husband.

Due to the success of The English Professor, Iafrate is developing a new novel titled The Professor's Daughter. The story follows the life of Gracy Robertson who, with her father Andrew, manages to evade the mobsters still in pursuit. After the death of her father, Gracy's saga continues, guided by Andrews's lessons in kindness and love.
