Author and playwright Rosanna Staffa chats with Fox 43 AM Live’s Dane Kroll about her debut novel, “The War Ends at Four,”
“Rosanna Staffa is an Italian-American author and playwright. Her play The Innocence of Ghosts was produced off-Broadway and her debut novel The War Ends at Four is out now!”
"Deftly interlacing the past and present of the characters and their setting, Staffa pens an appealing novel about grief, finding home, and transformation.
With elegant, clear, and poignant prose, Staffa moves the story forward, portraying characters that will deeply impact readers.
Though the story's themes may feel familiar, the delicate way in which Staffa explores them distinguishes this novel.
Staffa's characters are realistically lovely and flawed. Their relationships with each other—or lack thereof—beautifully drive the plot and themes.
Staffa weaves a moving and realistic portrait of grief, belonging, and transformation."

“The War Ends at Four deftly explores the quest of a perpetual outsider who is desperately seeking a true home while coming to terms with the Italy she left behind and the America she found. Exceptional, original, eloquent, entertaining, it is all the more impressive when learning that The War Ends at Four is author Rosanna Staffa's debut as a novelist.” (by James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief)
