Away from My Past, and Back

By Helen W Beland

Juliette couldn't stand that constrained existence, she wanted to meet people, to have somewhere to go. During high school she relocated to the mainland live with her aunt Helen since Ventotene provided only elementary and middle school.

Her connection with her dad has always been difficult. They were both obstinate and not eager to compromise. Sometimes, going on the street beside their home, one might hear them fighting. Candida, Juliette's mother, had to calm them down, but sometimes she just preferred to leave and go to Zi' Amalia, the pub down the street, and wait for the tension to break down.

Juliette traveled home every weekend and every summer simply to see Nancy, her love. Nancy was a fisherman like his father and his grandpa before him. He didn't have the huge ambition to move mainland like Juliette, but he would for the love of her.

The summer she graduated high school and turned nineteen was challenging. Maybe because Juliette was accustomed to living on the mainland, maybe because she wasn't used anymore to cope with her father intransigence.
