Description

Alligator Bayou by Donna Jo Napoli tells the story of Calogero and his Sicilian family living in Tallulah, Louisiana, in 1899. Their struggles to adapt to their new life are set against the backdrop of racial tensions between the black and white communities. As Calogero navigates his relationships with those around him, he finds himself drawn to Patricia, a sharp-witted and sweet-natured girl from a different world. Meanwhile, everyday misunderstandings between the white community and the Sicilians bring them closer to a terrifying confrontation. This affecting novel explores the immigrant experience through Calogero's eyes, shedding light on a pivotal moment in American history that is both heart-wrenching and thought-provoking.
