The early 20th century. The island of Castellammare is lost in the Mediterranean Sea, a godforsaken corner where one can easily find refuge from the turmoil of the big world. In the center of the island, at the very top, stands an old house. It was once the tavern "The House on the Edge of Night," a gathering place for all the island's news, gossip, and rumors. But for many years, the house has been abandoned. Then one day, a stranger appears on the island—a doctor—and from that moment, a new story begins for "The House on the Edge of Night." On a quiet Mediterranean night, when the stars shine in the sky and the air is filled with the scent of basil and thyme, the island's population swells: a local count and a visiting doctor are expecting heirs. The story of Dr. Amedeo's family will be turbulent, full of secrets, trials, sacrifices, and love.

"The House on the Edge of Night" is a charming saga about four generations living and loving on a forgotten island off the coast of Italy. The novel combines ironic romance, magical realism, fairy tales and facts, a lifelong love story, and twentieth-century history. One of the book's main characters is the island of Castellammare itself, whose cliffs conceal astonishing legends. The book has already been published or is about to be published in more than 20 countries.
