Induction of Caterina Edwards Into the Arts & Culture Hall of Fame
The Sicilian Wife
All Lit Up recommends The Sicilian Wife as one of its best mysteries of 2015
The Sicilian Wife by Caterina Edwards (Linda Leith Publishing)
“This noir-ish read about a Mafia princess doing her best to escape her crime family is part folk tale, part feminist critique, and all engrossing. Will Fulvia find a peaceful new life in Canada? Or will her husband’s murder on the Sicilian coast drag her right back in?Why We Chose It
Caterina Edwards’ literary mystery has all of the hallmarks of a fantastic Italian crime story. And we’re not alone in thinking it’s great: The Sicilian Wife is #55 on the National Post’s 99 Best Books of the Year.
Who Would Love This Book
