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.Midnight in Sicily 1

Mr. Robb is a genius. Midnight in Sicily is a must read for anyone that is trying to beat banality. I loved this book when I first bought it in 2001. This is my 3rd copy and now I appreciate it more than ever...
