Un filo di fumo

Synopsis of Un filo di fumo

«Un filo di fumo» is the novel by Andrea Camilleri, published by Mondolibri Edizioni in paperback (150 pages, in Italian).

In the imaginary Sicilian city of Vigàta, at the end of the 19th century, the arrival of a ship awaiting a cargo of sulfur unleashes misunderstandings, social tensions and political maneuvers. Camilleri mixes Italian and Sicilian dialect in a choral satire with humor and irony, and anticipates the universe that would give life to Inspector Montalbano.
