For the Last Time Emanuel Marchese

Frank's saga is ours. Fighting daily the tumultuous weakness of the human heart Frank mitigates it with some right. Leaving home he immigrates to Hartford where he finds a job in the field of fine arts as a restorer. This later on will land him jobs in Museums, in Paris, Venice and Florence. In Florence the inundation of the River Arno on Nov 4th 1966, while honeymooning postponed his return to Hartford. As a restorer of fine arts he had no choice but to get involved in restoration. Finally back home he finds an unhappy wife and the assurance of an imminent divorce. Frank's saga also involves him with the mob in order to get quick cash. After smuggling millions of dollars worth of cocaine, from Palm Beach to Hartford, Frank moves to Florida to start anew. However leaving behind the trace of vendetta. At sixty-five doomed to death by prostate cancer or the old vendetta, he falls in love with a much younger woman. For the last time, he defined love in its pure essence, characterizing the ageless meaning of it. Going beyond usual death scenes found in novels, Stephanie and Frank's love touches the cords of the cruelest hearts.
