'That's what I want to fix up and where I want us to live, ' Moira had said when taking Eric on a discovery tour to Corsica. Eric reluctantly agreed. Five years later an old ruin, in a tiny village on the northern tip of the island, is restored to its old glory and becomes their home.
Suddenly Moira is gone. Of her own free will, or taken hostage? By the mafia?
Eric is hell-bent on finding her. A rule-abiding mayor, a mafia hunter and a mysterious messenger step in. They counsel Eric to do nothing. During eight days Eric is torn by incapacitating guilt and paralyzing anguish. Feeling like a pinball in a ghastly game, he crisscrosses Corsica's peninsula and finds solace in the warm-hearted generosity of the islanders, but where is Moira?
TORRA is a spellbinding tale of agony and passion, narrated with tickling humour and a sensitive perception of local customs and folklore.
