Bestselling author Gina Iafrate has announced that the ebook version of her award-winning novel, The English Professor, will be available at no charge on August 18 and 19, 2026, at Amazon. The novel, which has garnered critical acclaim, follows the story of Andrew Robertson, an introverted middle-aged professor who escapes his unremarkable life in London for a transformative journey to Sicily. There, he becomes entangled in a passionate affair with Francesca, the wife of another man, leading to a union that results in a child. As Andrew must return to London, Francesca must protect herself, Andrew, and their child from her violent husband.
This free download offers readers a chance to immerse themselves in Iafrate's richly descriptive storytelling, which has been compared to the works of Nicholas Sparks and John Grisham. The novel is the first in a series that continues with The Professor's Daughter and Love and Betrayal, both of which explore themes of love, loss, and resilience. In The Professor's Daughter, Gracy Robertson, the love child of Andrew and Francesca, navigates life after her mother's death and her father's passing, eventually finding love and facing threats that test her strength. Love and Betrayal follows Gracy's married life, where her husband's infidelity and betrayal lead to a journey of survival and eventual peace.
Iafrate's Strong Women series, which includes The Girl From The Cornfield and Bestowed By Love And Splendour, features characters who overcome overwhelming odds to build inspiring lives. Her latest work, Releases From My Soul, is a collection of poems and true stories drawn from her life experiences. She is currently working on her seventh novel, The Shoeless Boy.
