The PaTriarch: a Sicilian Tale

By Anna Mione

Vito Petracca is dead. Now his family must learn to cope with the loss of their father. Through the eyes of his family, Vito Petracca is perceived by his children as a strong figure in their lives. Mary, his widow emerges from the cocoon of his influence into her own persona. Strong passions, pride, and vendettas propel each character to sculpt their own destinies. Their lives are ruled by their Sicilian traditions. As the tapestry of their lives unfolds none of what happens is predictable. The web of intrigue is a stunning revelation of a medieval Sicilian culture, who's roots are in the Greek Norman, Spanish, French and Arabic cultures.
