As each of the victim’s neighbors is questioned by the police, readers are offered an all-access pass into the most colorful neighborhood in contemporary Rome.With language as colorful as the neighborhood it describes, each character takes his or her turn “giving evidence.” Their various stories reveal much about the drama of racial identity and the anxieties of a life spent on society’s margins, but also bring to life the hilarious imbroglios of this melting pot Italian culture.“Their frequently wild testimony teases out intriguing psychological and social insight alongside a playful whodunit plot.”― Publishers WeeklyWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
