Family honour, religion, tragedy, sex, mayhem and most of all food-this memoir of a Sicilian summer is full of eccentric personalities, family clashes and revelations that are at once amusing and sad-and never short of surprises.

Travel writer Brian Johnston accepted an invitation to attend the confirmation of a friend's god-daughter in Sicily, naively expecting little more than the chance to immerse himself in some genuine southern Italian hospitality, while exploring the vibrant tastes, smells, flavours and rituals of Sicilian food. But Sicily has a way of getting under your skin, and as well as being seduced by the island's earthy and mysterious charms, he found himself unexpectedly swept up in flamboyant family dramas and dangerous village politics, eccentric personalities and age-old feuds.

Brian Johnston is a freelance travel and features writer and has previously won the Australian Society of Travel Writers prestigious Travel Writer of the Year award.
