Sicily, April 16, 1677. From his deathbed, Charles III's viceroy, don Angel de Guzmàn, marquis of Castel de Roderigo, names his wife, donna Eleonora, as his successor. Eleonora di Mora is a highly intelligent and capable woman who immediately applies her political acumen to heal the scarred soul of Palermo, a city afflicted by poverty, misery, and the frequent uprisings they entail. The marquise implements measures that include lowering the price of bread and establishing stipends for young couples wishing to marry - all considered seditious by the conservative city fathers.

What disappointed you about The Revolution of the Moon?
I am an Andrea Camilleri fan and was intrigued by a book set in an earlier time period. Unfortunately the plot was obvious and poorly paced.
What could Andrea Camilleri and Stephen Sartarelli - translator have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
See above.
What didn’t you like about Grover Gardner’s performance?
I speak Spanish and a little Italian. Presumably the reader was reading the text -- but the ENDLESS repetition of the characters's full names was tedious and the pronunciation was poor.
