Title: The Leopard
Product review: This book is a novel based on an ancestor of the writer. This ancestor, living in Sicily during the mid 1800's, had the leopard of the title as a family crest. This period was the time when Italy united under the leadership of Garibaldi and King Victor Emmanuel. It meant the beginning of the end for a lifestyle of privilege and the emergence of a middle class. Such a change promised improvements for many but not for "The Leopard". He was smart enough to realize what the future held and to try to plan for how the changes would effect his family. There is great attention to detail, so that the reader feels he/she is right there.
