W Garibaldi
by Martinelli, Elena
What kind of story is possible for a child who witnesses the violent death of his father?
To Gennaro, known as Riello, Salvatore leaves not only the shocking image of his end and a life adrift in a territory divided between old and new bosses but also a book, the life of Garibaldi, and the heroic ambition to unite two warring neighborhoods, to “end the deaths.”
A bloodbath and a dose of reality for a coming-of-age novel, where the unifying dream of peace meets unexpected outcomes, full of hope but also profoundly anti-heroic.
