Italian writer Oriana Fallaci’s latest book: “A hat full of cherries” published post-humously

One of Italy’s greatest and most famous writers of modern times, Oriana Fallaci, is famous for both her journalism work and her fiction writing.
With works such as “Interview with History”, a collection of interviews of political figures, and fiction like “Letter to a Child Never Born”, she put her mark on the Italian literary scene.

Dying in 2006, she sent her last manuscript to her nephew, leaving instructions as to the title and its publication.
“Un cappello pieno di ciliege”, or “A hat full of cherries” is being released post humously on July 30.
Fallaci has described the book as her “child”, though not without a difficult birth.
It’s a family saga spanning the years 1773, to 1889, and the first copies are being printed with a genealogical tree and extracts from the original typed manuscript.
It could prove to be an important book for Italy, covering the turbulent times of the Napoleonic revolution, Garibaldi and others.
With autobiographical aspects, such as the cancer that afflicts one of the characters, it is an insight into the life of Oriana Fallaci.
Getting to her know her through her interviews of famous world leaders and politicians is one thing; but this is a far more personal print of the life of a great Italian woman.
