About Parted Gods
Parted Gods follows fraternal twins Antonella and Federico Adamo—artists, lovers, and each other’s missing half. The novel unfolds in the split second after a van throws Antonella into the air, her consciousness slipping into Federico’s memories as the sun burns orange over Berlin. Antonella is a rising figurative painter unraveling under the weight of doubt; Federico, a jazz pianist finally stepping into the spotlight with a major film score. Their story moves between Berlin and the haunting shores of Sicily, where an Irish mythologist once told them they were never meant to be apart. If they stayed together, they would remain whole. If they didn’t… the world would break them. The novel crescendos in New Orleans, where love, art, and fate collide one final time.
