Produktbeschreibung
When Tosca Ring is seven years old, she abruptly goes "on vacation" from her home in New York City to Cuernavaca, Mexico with her parents and her six siblings during an FBI investigation into her father's Mafia dealings. From there, she is catapulted into a nomadic life marked by secrecy and false identities. Her father's criminality continues, and the family continues to go "on vacation"-often in the middle of the night, always without warning-through five countries and two continents. As they move, so, too, do Tosca's internal landscapes. Her life becomes a chain of shifting realities, linked by secrets and shaped by growing violence and deceptions. As Tosca grows into young adulthood, she fights back to discover her true identity. The Opposite of Hollywood is based on author Margo Perin's childhood.
