A few dots of foxing to the top fore edge. "Bestselling writer Gay Talese uses his own family history to tell the epic story of an Italian family over three generations. Moving from a tiny feudal village in southern Italy to the battlefields of the First World War, to Paris in the 1920s, and finally to the promised land of America, Unto the Sons is a brilliant mixture of history and story-telling. Talse carries us into the nineteenth- century patriarchal world of his great-grandfather in the village of Maida (after which London's Maida Vale was named) - a region immersed in the mysticism of the Church and haunted by echoes of Roman glory and the subsequent waves of foreign invasion. His story moves from Italy to America and back again as it follows the men of the village, among them the author's grandfather; 9.30 X 6.30 X 2 inches .
