A SENSE OF BELONGING

The protagonist of A Sense of Belonging is born into a neighbourhood in a Sicilian city where honest families live side by side with dishonest ones. A handsome boy with a sharp intelligence, his character is forged by the strong personality of his grandfather, a disillusioned philosopher with the sense of a realist. The boy soon discovers the “K-factor”, that part of the personality present more or less latently in every individual, which leads him to react violently in particular circumstances. Through a series of sensational scenes, gambling and shoot-outs, our hero rediscovers his better self and enters the world of finance. There he meets the woman of his life and enters into contact with the most renowned men of the American mafia. The game is still dirty, but now it’s legal... and the surprising finale takes some thinking about. The book pulls the reader along like the swiftly passing frames of a film, keeping the spectator on the edge of his seat all the way to the end.
