A pleasant yet slow read. It’s mostly seen from the viewpoint of a middle aged Sicilian Nobleman trying to adjust to garribaldi’a invasion and the transformation of his old Kingdom of Sicily to part of the brand new country of Italy. It’s pretty detailed in his appreciation of the political ramifications and his strategizing to preserve his family’s prestige while recognizing that an awful lot of the changes going on are beyond his control.
I also enjoy Lampedusa’s bittersweet sense of humor.
