This is a year of Sicilian life, its seasons and its sacred
festivals, its gorgeous fruits and demanding family life, its
casual assassinations and village feasts, its weather and the
neighbours. It chronicles a life divided between an apartment in
the city of Palermo with the weekends and summer devoted to
sustaining life in an old family farm. What makes this journal
truly exceptional is that Mary Simeti is both an outsider, (an
American who had studied medieval history and worked as a volunteer
on a social welfare programme) and an insider. For this journal was
written after twenty years of immersion in Sicilian life, as wife
to a Sicilian, mother to two Sicilian teenagers, as gardener, cook
and carer for a suspicious mother-in- law.
