Montelusa was a small village of Sicily inhabited mainly by fishermen.
This village belonged to the territory of Agrigento, and was located in
the Valley of the Temples. The inhabitants of Montelusa were lively
people and full of life, possessed a very affable and friendly
character. In this book I tell one of many Sicilian families, struggling
for survival, but the main theme is love to the blossoming of the first
sun, what it is to be discovered, and you only hear with a spontaneous
childhood heart and sincere, and perhaps so wonderful, like the age of
the development, there is no one like it. The secondary theme is that
pain for a misunderstood love, and that cannot continue, as too
immature. Third is the tragedy, one that is accepted, albeit
reluctantly, because some things that happened did not reflect the
canons of the order, family and social, previously established. The
protagonist's name is Battista, who has an important role, but also the
other characters have a significant role, chained to his fate and that
of its sweet Sofia. The character of the novel seems to want to escape a
fate is imposed on States which have a role to center and important in
the family, making them die prematurely, but for him it was not so. In
fact, he changes lives and moved to America to forget a love and tragedy
of his life that creates pain.
