THE EAGLE'S NEST: Once Upon a Time in Sicily

In this charming story, Carmelo Ciro vividly evokes his childhood in Partanna, a small and remote Sicilian mountain town overlooking Greek temples and the Mediterranean Sea. It is the 1950s-a time when Sicily was a rigid, closed, and male-dominated society. In an ancient setting of great natural beauty, inhabited by unforgettable townspeople and ruled by myth and ritual, Carmelo comes of age and finds his identity.
