The journal of an Englishwoman handling parenthood, the Mafia and a Sicilian mother-in-law, all at once: 'The Godmother', the first book in the series, introduces the formidable mother-in-law and godmother to seven children who dominates family life. To understand Sicily's present you need to understand her past. The author discusses, amongst other things, the Sicilian language, the role of women in Sicily and their portrayal in modern Italian media, the immigration crisis which began in Sicily in 2012, the fact Italians sell pasta for dogs, and some of the UNESCO world heritage sites that embellish the magnificent island of Sicily. A passionate love of all things Sicilian combines with irreverent humour and a dangerously truthful way with words in this cultural and personal exploration of Sicily, past and present.
