I did have some difficulty with keeping the characters straight at first but once the story took hold, I was hooked. I am always looking for stories set in Sicily. have you read any of Theresa Maggio's novels, or No Pictures in My Grave by Susan Caperna Loyd, or The Wind Off the Island by Ernle Bradford? Please tell us of others you have found with English translations.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03688846429279351574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-2285910320381980232012-07-06T01:54:12.007+02:002012-07-06T01:54:12.007+02:00Good to know from someone who has read the book.
