Do you like your novel fleshed, full-blown, mysterious, and magical? Well, then, leave the gun & pasta & tears, take the cannoli and read Vincent Panella's excellent novel, "Sicilian Dreams."</p><p>--ANTHONY VALERIO</p><p> </p><p>Vincent Panella intimately and intricately brings the Italian immigrant experience to life. Here, characters possess a profound and necessary hunger for new life yet are tethered to the mores and myths of the old one. "Sicilian Dreams" is a magnificent accomplishment, a tale of coming-of-age, vengeance, violence, desperation, and aspiration while at the same time a work of pure beauty.</p><p>--LAURETTE FOLK</p><br>
