Conversations in Sicily | 
pick
You can smell Sicily, feel Sicily in this book. But not today's holiday island, but the Sicily of the 40s, a harsh and poor country. A son travels by train to his mother in Sicily, who he hasn't seen in fifteen years. His conversations in the train, with his mother and with other people on the island give us a view of a life there and then. Besides it is a story of detachment, of war and of a lost family life. #1001books
