Summary :

"He saw them so alone in the world, he recognized them in the whim of God and in the irremediable violence of nature, prisoners of the unmysterious dream of the children of the Borgo Vecchio." Mimmo and Cristofaro are friends for life and death. They grow up in a squalid neighborhood of Palermo, among the scents of the sea, the market with its rigged scales, and the winding alleys where the police dare not venture. In the evening, while Cristofaro cries under his father's blows, Mimmo tries to catch a glimpse of Celeste, who waits on the balcony while her mother receives men. All three share the same dream: to have Totò, an elusive thief and hero of the Borgo Vecchio, as their father. He alone possesses a pistol, which Mimmo would like to use to save Cristofaro from certain death... Violence and beauty mingle at the heart of this captivating novel, which keeps us in suspense until the grand finale.
