Under the Purple Umbrella

A Novel of Arizona, Italy, and the Boy Between

Under the Purple Umbrella is Ramon Lyles' first novel, a slow-burning story set against the rooftops, balconies, and rain-slick streets of the Veneto. It follows two lives drawn together by chance, kept close by longing, and tested by the choices only travelers understand. Lyrical, intimate, and quietly devastating, it is a book about the seasons a person carries with them long after the trip is over.
