«È stato il figlio» is the novel by Roberto Alajmo, published by Mondadori in paperback (231 pages, in Italian).
Set in the Palermo district of the Kalsa, the novel follows the Ciraulo family, struck by a loss and devoted to housecleaning. When the police burst in, each member responds with everyday, paradoxical logic; amid secrets and financial hardship, Alajmo deploys his irony to the bone.
The first edition dates from 2005 and belongs to the «Scrittori italiani e stranieri» collection by Mondadori.
For readers of contemporary Italian fiction seeking family portraits with ironic nuances and a social backdrop closely tied to Sicily.
