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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A wonderful book, enthrallingly told." --<i>The Boston Globe</i> <p/>"Quite simply the best book in English about Italy." --<i>The Economist</i> <p/>"Peter Robb presents a labyrinthine tale that brilliantly juxtaposes essays on food and art with historical accounts." --<i>Sandra Mardenfeld, The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>"Extraordinary . . . As an introduction to post-war Italy . . . it can have few equals." --<i>The Times Literary Suplement (London)</i> <p/>"Robb has written the finest recent book on Sicily. . . . <i>Midnight in Sicily </i>is as exquisitely prodigal as its subject." --<i>Stephen Metcalf, Slate.com</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Peter Robb</b> has divided his time among Brazil, southern Italy, and Australia for the last quarter century.
