The Brewer of Preston : a novel / Andrea Camilleri ; translated by Stephen Sartarelli.
"The New York Times bestselling author of the Inspector Montalbano series brings us back to Vigà ta in the nineteenth century for a rip-roaring comic novel. 1870s Sicily. Much to the displeasure of Vigà ta's stubborn populace, the town has just been unified under the Kingdom of Italy. They're now in the hands of a new government they don't understand, and they definitely don't like. Eugenio Bortuzzi has been named Prefect for Vigà ta, a regional representative from the Italian government to oversee the town. But the rowdy and unruly Sicilians don't care much for this rather pompous mainlander nor the mediocre opera he's hell-bent on producing in their new municipal theater. The Brewer of Preston, it's called, and the Vigà tese are revving up to wreak havoc on the performance's opening night"--Provided by publisher.
