"Gina" is a story about a kidnapping. A twelve-year old girl,
committed to an orphanage along with her six siblings due to her
mother's inability to care for them, disappears in the middle of
the night. Though the crime takes place in Newark, New Jersey, the
victim and the perpetrators are from villages in southern Italy,
and much of the book is set in these villages and other parts of
that country. As the motivation for the kidnapping emerges, it is
seen to be connected to the extreme poverty of the region and the
brutal character of the victim's father, a World War One Italian
army veteran named Pasquale Farinelli. Pasquale's story, along with
the stories of a number of others involved in one way or another,
is interwoven with the story of the kidnapping itself, which ends
in an unexpected way.
