Alligator Bayou by Donna Jo Napoli
5.0
Wow...this book was amazing. Maybe it is because it is about Sicilians and it hit home, or maybe i was just a story that stays with anyone that reads it. This is a work of fiction based on a true story of the lynching of 5 Sicilians in Tallulah, Louisiana in 1899. In the afterword we learn that most of the characters were real except the main character in the book, who tells the story.
It is a great story of the relationship of the blacks, whites and Sicilians at the time, along with an Native American. The story shows you love, fear, hatred and hope. I am very glad that my reading challenge lead me to this book and i had the opportunity to read it.
