Sicily in 1947 is still deeply affected by the recent war. The novel's action takes place when the island is suffering from starvation, strikes and a separatist uprising. Lewis' character, a British Intelligence operator, is sent to observe and report. The novel is an insight into an antiquated feudal society that is about to disappear and with it, the peculiar, cruel but tenacious lives of those who endure.

The is the first fiction book by Norman Lewis that I have read and I didn’t think it was as good as his non-fiction. I didn’t think that the plot was very strong, but what he does in this book is to make the atmosphere and culture of Sicily come alive and provide an account of the way that the island had begun to change after the Second World War. I had hoped it would have been more of a spy novel, but it wasn’t really. The characters were a little shallow, and there are some interesting characters in the book, in particular, the two Americans. ( )
