Reseña del libro "A Letter from Sicily (en Inglés)"
A Letter from Sicily is a sweeping family saga that explores immigration in a way that's both timely and timeless; the dramatic story follows a young orphan who struggles after leaving Sicily for the United States, and his grandson, who, more than one hundred years later, travels to Italy to explore his heritage-and falls in love. The story captures, in cinematic style, all that family life entails: love, loss, yearning, togetherness, and separation, as well as contemplating and remembering one's roots."Christopher Amato tells a captivating story of hope, survival, love and the innate quest to learn about one's family roots." - Jacqueline Alio, author of Women of Sicily: Saints, Queens and Rebels and one of Sicily's most talented historians."A touching story of a search for roots, and a timely reminder that it was immigrants who built the United States." -- Mary Taylor Simeti, author of On Persephone's Island: A Sicilian Journal and one of the greatest authorities and writers on Sicilian food.Christopher Amato is married, a proud father of three sons and grandfather to two intelligent, curious boys. He was born in Virginia and as a kid, moved often with his parents and seven siblings. In 1981 he earned a degree with honors in Criminology from Florida State University. A federal agent in law enforcement for nearly thirty years, he now devotes himself to writing. Christopher lives in Italy with his wife and a very needy dog.
