Books In Sync Fiction Author A. Colin Wright Releases Sardinian Silver.
A. Colin Wright was born and raised in Chelmsford, Essex, England. After serving as a linguist in the British Royal Air Force, Wright attended Cambridge University, where he earned undergraduate and graduate degrees. In 1961 he lived for six months in Sassari, Sardinia, followed the next year by a longer period in Reggio Calabria. He speaks six languages reasonably fluently (including Italian), and can stumble along in two more. In 1964, he was appointed professor of Russian at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. He remained at Queen’s until his retirement in 1999 and still resides there today. Dr. Wright is married and has two grown sons.
“Based on his own time on Sardinia, Wright’s recent captivating and oftentimes hilarious novel Sardinian Silver follows the exploits of a young man trying to find love while assimilating to an archaically orthodox society. Sardinia in the 1960s was still very culturally undeveloped: the residents viewed mainland Italians and continentals (the British counted among them) as immoral and contaminated by modern society.
