When a Hollywood producer visits Oriana Fallaci at the end of her life to propose a movie, the story unfolds of her trailblazing career as a journalist, her tragic love, and her greatest regret.

Oriana was born in Italy, moved to Manhattan, and shot to international fame for her provocative interviews of world leaders and celebrities. At her peak in 1973, Oriana was called "the best reporter in the world." That's when she fell in love with Alexander Panagoulis, Greek hero and poet. He was ten years younger and lived in a different country, but Oriana didn't care. She had finally found what she longed for: a full life. Can a woman ever have it all, or does life always exact a price?

Christiane Amanpour calls Oriana her role model, saying, "I wanted to be her!"

Oriana holds a place alongside Mike Wallace and Barbara Walters as a legendary interviewer. But her story is little-known in America, until now.

The first biographical novel of the glamorous Italian, the iconic journalist, the woman in love.
