What a marvelous story of this family who was an integral part of the history of Sicily . The book spans a couple centuries and tells of the rise of the Florios from a poor village in Calabria to the influential and powerful family they established in Palermo. You may not like the personality of Paolo, ⬇️
Crazeedi Vincenzo or Ignazio, but one can't deny their ability to bring their vision for their company to fruition. Guilia will capture your heart though and her love for Vincenzo is what holds the thread of the story together. There is a lot of descriptions of the city, the company and the history of Sicily in the book. I enjoyed learning about this fascinating island and the struggles the people endured with various countries and families ruling over it. 4y
