Description
Norman Lewis's enduring fascination with Sicily is evident in this loving tribute to the island and its people. Dedicated to a journalist killed by the Mafia, Lewis draws on his friendships with policemen, journalists, and ordinary Sicilians to paint a vivid portrait of life on the island. From the landscape and language to memories of family and cultural change, Lewis's writing is infused with a deep understanding of Sicily's complexities. He explores themes such as African immigration, changing social mores, and the enduring presence of organized crime, all while weaving in stories of superstition, witches, and murder. This book offers a unique insight into the island's history and culture, written by someone who has spent sixty years exploring its many facets.
