Dora and Luka are inseparable: ever since he fainted at the sight of her – walking into the classroom with her new schoolbag – and she woke him with a chaste kiss, it has been love at first sight. ‘There’s something in the air when the two of them are together. You can’t call it calm, you can’t call it storm.’
My dear readers, this Wednesday I’m retreating for 5 weeks to my island of Brač to paddle on my SUP, taste the sea and eat some black gnocchi with seafood – but above all to research and write miraculous venetian stories about the female ancestors of my main character Sebastiano. What a challenge this will be!
