Bellissimo affresco del periodo più nero della nostra storia. Prevaricazione senza riscatto. Molto coinvolgente. 9

Tough rating. I'm going for a 3 even though the book was deeply intense and upsetting at points, but maybe I found the characterization of the poor people a little excessive in describing their ignorance and naiveness.
