READ THIS BOOK

Sandra Benjamin's book, Sicily, is the best history book I have ever read. She writes well, clearly, and with humor. If anyone wants to understand or get to know Sicily and its people, read this book. I recently returned from a month in Sicily and had many questions about it's history, and why the Sicilians are Sicilians. It's all here. Highly recommended.
