Half a Heart

Eleonora Westwood has just left her hometown, country and entire family behind to embark on a journey characterized by her desire to achieve her dreams. With a brand-new job in a small Italian town close to Rome, she hopes to leave her old life behind by surrounding herself with an entirely foreign environment. She starts teaching French as a foreign language to college students and meets new people who change her views on friendships and relationships.

How will Eleonora navigate her new life? How will she deal with the remnants of her old life? And most importantly, how will she balance this identity crisis with the unstoppable feelings she has developed for a mysterious woman?

I would like to point out that this book is entirely written by someone who does not live in Italy, and thus all details concerning places, people, and events are entirely made up. Additionally, this story will be told by my own personal point of view and will not necessarily abide by common practices in Italy. The story is set in Italy simply from a story-telling point of view in order to have Eleonor move to a different country where she teaches French as a foreign language.
