About this product

Product Information

A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the Year A New York Public Library Best Book of the Year From the author of M and A Death in Brazil comes Midnight in Sicily . South of mainland Italy lies the island of Sicily, home to an ancient culture that--with its stark landscapes, glorious coastlines, and extraordinary treasure troves of art and archeology--has seduced travelers for centuries. But at the heart of the island's rare beauty is a network of violence and corruption that reaches into every corner of Sicilian life: Cosa Nostra, the Mafia. Peter Robb lived in southern Italy for over fourteen years and recounts its sensuous pleasures, its literature, politics, art, and crimes.

A superbly written account of Italian life, death and politics ... and food.
A beautifully written account of Italian politics, food and life by an author who has lived it from the inside. It's won many awards: deservedly so. NB It is *not* a travel guide (although it might inspire what you order in a restaurant...!); it's a chronicle of life, death and politics.
