The Success of Failure

Life has never been easy for Gypsies in Romania, they suffer crushing poverty, and they are considered interlopers, always suspected of theft or mischief. Matei dreams of a better life for his children, but he has only meager earnings from his small shop in Bistrita, Romania. This is his opportunity. As a father he’s succeeded in one important goal. He’s managed to send his brilliant son, Constantin, to a Bucharest university where good fortune smiles on him, and he meets and bonds with Dimitru, the family’s ultimate philanthropic sponsor. Constantin has a plan to exact a fortune, enough to support the entire family, mining the eroticism and sensuality of his exquisite sisters. Success requires Constantin’s overriding magnetic personality, his three sisters’ exotic and alluring beauty, the harmonious bonding of two young men, the generosity of a brilliant relentlessly driven inventor, international intrigue, lots of luck, and a willingness to face extreme danger. For Matei and his family, it’s the plan they’ve been waiting for all of their lives. All they need now is the courage to put Constantin’s extraordinary gambit into operation, see it through, and trust in the forces of fate.
