About the Book

Simona Grossi's debut novel is a deeply felt journey of self-discovery, exploring the courage of confronting the past and opening one's heart to friends and love.

Growing up, Clara's world was all about her piano and her best friend, William. It all seemed to work until it didn't. A major slip during a concert shakes Clara's confidence, making her decide to abandon music altogether; and William betrays their relationship, just when their bond seemed to be evolving into something deeper. Shaken, Clara decides to silence her past and almost become someone else.

Now a successful lawyer, Clara seems to have settled for a life filled with emptiness and nonsense, until her law firm dispatches her to Italy. There, a deep friendship with Mario, the eighty-year-old neighbor, and their trip together through some of the most iconic places in Italy, set Clara on a path to becoming herself. Pulling her back to that past that she had tried so hard to forget, Clara's journey turns into a magical fable of startling symmetries that unite hearts and feelings.

4.2 Stars on Amazon. Readers love Clara's story.

"This is a great story of love and life and figuring out what and who will make you happy and fulfilled. Great writing style that carries the reader along and keeps you wanting to know more about the characters. Inspiring story for anybody."

"Simone Grossi's poetic prose takes you on a journey with Clara, touching on topics familiar to contemporary life including the search for love, meaning, career fulfillment, and illuminates our own lives through the mirror of Clara's search for these things."

"What an inspiring romantic tale. Clara lives inside most of us and I walked in her shoes and became her character while reading this book. I felt I was in Italy and could feel the old world cobblestones under my feet. A must read for every soul that has a dream. Bravo!"

"I don't usually write reviews because I feel inadequate doing so. However, Looking for Clara really hit home with me. I have wandered all my life, searching for myself and at 55, I found I should have listened to my gut and stayed focused on music. Instead, I wandered and failed a lot in trying to search for a career only to realize that music was where I should be. I now am retired but I entertain in nursing homes and I have found myself. This book is one that I resonate with. Thank you for writing this."
