Nostalgia Siciliana

A family novel set between Sicily and Berlin, and a bittersweet love letter to Southern Italy. A call from Sicily brings Tita back to the past: Her father Gianni was one of the first guest workers to leave the island in search of fortune in Germany, where he established the frozen pizza industry. However, his early death cast a shadow over Tita's childhood and made Sicily fade in her memory. Now, Tita's uncle has also passed away, leaving her the estate of Magní, once the center of the extended family. Tita returns to Sicily and discovers a magical place that could mean not only home but also a new love. You can almost smell the ripe lemons on the trees while reading. She writes warmly and softly, making you feel as if you can sense the air of Sicily, her father's homeland.
