註釋
Most victims of the
mafia
are the
Sicilians
themselves. The role of women both as
perpetrators
and
victims
has been grossly overlooked. Until now.
As the daughter of
Sicilian
immigrants, in her teens Maria turns her back on her origins and fully embraces the English way of life. Notwithstanding her troubled and humble childhood in London, and backed up by her intelligence, beauty and sheer determination, she triumphantly works her way up to join the upper middle-class of
British society
. There she becomes a bastion of civility.
But a minor incident wakes up feelings of
revenge
in her like those lurking in Maria's Sicilian origins. As she delves deeper into her mother's family history a
murky past unravels
, drawing Maria more and more into a mire of
vendetta
.

This book makes very interesting reading and a lot of research has gone into it. I also like Linda’s writing style, and the plot flowed. I have awarded this book 5 deserving stars.
