Title : The Nights of Favonio - Carmelo Sardo - Book
Summary :
At night, in Favonio, on the perimeter wall of the old castle converted into a penitentiary, a young man prays for the wind to die down and let him return home. Aged 20, he is doing his military service on the island, as a jailer for mafia bosses.
But soon dismay and anguish give way to fascination with the stories of these dark and damp cells: atrocious revenge, cruel deprivation, consuming passions and sincere friendships.
While the guard is seduced by the harsh charm of the island and the secrets of the inmates, one of the godfathers observes him... and chooses him, because he needs help in his journey of repentance. A complicity that will forever change the young man's existence by binding him to beings who will haunt him day and night...
Full of poetry and humanity, this mafia sentimental education offers a unique perspective, both tender and uncompromising, on men locked up for life, in search of love and redemption.
“A captivating novel that finds the perfect balance between the edginess of a crime novel and an intimate dive into feelings.”
