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.

Review:
Book Description:
"A wonderful book, enthrallingly told." --The Boston Globe
"Quite simply the best book in English about Italy." --The Economist
"Peter Robb presents a labyrinthine tale that brilliantly juxtaposes essays on food and art with historical accounts." --Sandra Mardenfeld, The New York Times Book Review
"Extraordinary . . . As an introduction to post-war Italy . . . it can have few equals." --The Times Literary Suplement (London)
"Robb has written the finest recent book on Sicily. . . . Midnight in Sicily is as exquisitely prodigal as its subject." --Stephen Metcalf, Slate.com
Peter Robb's journey into Sicily is a wondrously diverse account of its art, culture, crime and corruption written in prose that feels as infected and beautiful as the island itself.
