Praise for The Sacco Gang
“If history is the story of the winners and the powerful, it’s not only the fault of historians; the fact is that the traces of the past with which they work—’documents’—are left by those arranging for their own posterity . . . Camilleri rebels against this fiction, creating another, more refined and luminous one.”
— La Repubblica
Praise for Andrea Camilleri
“The novels of Andrea Camilleri breathe out the sense of place, the sense of humor, and the sense of despair that fills the air of Sicily.”
—Donna Leon, author of the Guido Brunetti series
“The idiosyncratic Montalbano is totally endearing.”
— The New York Times
“Camilleri is as crafty and charming a writer as his protagonist is an investigator.”
— The Washington Post Book World
Praise for The Revolution of the Moon
“A tragicomic parable of justice…Camilleri laces this true tale of exemplary leadership with humor.”
— Kirkus Reviews
“Bestselling and award-winning Italian author Camilleri (the Inspector Montalbano series) offers a marvelous historical drama based on a true but little-known episode of 17th-century Sicilian history.”
— Publishers Weekly
“AndreaCamilleri’s The Revolution of the Moon beats the odds, rendering a fascinating story built on a true historical moment and managing to sell me a political novel in a time when I’m the least likely to read anything political.”
— Words Without Borders
"[Camilleri] presents us here with a historical novel encompassing his skills as a researcher combined with the masterful ability to wring not only meaning from a story but fun, too. His sly, wry approach to matters of morality, politics, crime and sexual dynamics seasons a stew of facts and fiction to perfection."
—Eric Boss, Mountains and Plains Independent Booksellers Association
“Eleonora, a woman forgotten by history, will come alive to the reader. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to discover a remarkable, forgotten woman.”
— The Historical Novels Review
“Camilleri is back! This time with a novel that is entertaining, moving, and written in his hallmark and hypnotizing mix of Sicilian dialect and standard Italian... The Revolution of the Moon is, above all, an homage to women. Doña Eleonora is both courageous and fiercely determined. More than a book, this is another jewel from Andrea Camilleri placed in a historical setting that feels tragically similar to our own.”
— Wake Up News (Italy)
“Suspense, surprises, and courtly intrigues abound in this story of power that also doubles as a tribute to women and their sensibilities.”
— Panorama (Italy)
