A review by vstewart76
To Each His Own by Leonardo Sciascia

3.0

Normally I would flat out hate anything even remotely Mafia related (I once dated a guy who was obsessed with the Mafia and that sort of turned me off of it forever). To my surprise, and delight, this book wasn't really about the Mafia. The Mafia is there, a subtle, shadowy black hand moving in the background. The novella deals with the murder of two prominent citizens in a small town in Sicily. What we get is a glimpse of the social and political implications these deaths have on the town. Overall good and deftly written, but I can't help feeling like something was lost in the translation of Italian to English.
