Contents
Synopsis
Spending fourteen years in southern Italy, Peter Robb recounts his journey into the Italian mezzogiorno - chiefly Sicily, but also Naples, and reveals its culture, history, art, literature and politics. The book also explores the dysfunction and impunity that intertwined with the organised crime world or mafia world of the area from the post WW2 era up to the 1990s, and the role of seven-time prime minister, Giulio Andreotti.
Critical reception
New York Times wrote in their review—
"Midnight in Sicily" is packed densely with events and characters that remain distinct even as Robb skips through time and place.
