SHORTLISTED FOR THE BETTY TRASK AWARD
SHORTLISTED FOR THE HWA DEBUT CROWN
LONGLISTED FOR THE POLARI FIRST NOVEL PRIZE
Sarah Day's MUSSOLINI'S ISLAND is a novel of sexuality and desire, of hidden
passions and the secrets we keep locked within us. Based on the true story of
the rounding up of a group of Sicilian gay men in 1939, this book is sure to
appeal to readers of the Elena Ferrante novels, Anthony Doerr's ALL THE LIGHT
WE CANNOT SEE or Virginia Baily's EARLY ONE MORNING.
'A fascinating debut...the setting and characters are strong and the story is
written with verve. Day is a talent to watch' - The Times
Francesco has a memory of his father from early childhood, a night when life
for his family changed. From that night, he has vowed to protect his mother
and to follow the words of his father: Non mollare. Never give up.
As Francesco is herded into a camp on the island of San Domino, he realises
that someone must have handed a list of names to the fascist police. Locked in
spartan dormitories, resentment and bitterness between the men grows each day.
Elena, an illiterate island girl, is drawn to the handsome Francesco.
Sometimes, she is given a message to pass on. She's not sure who they are
from; she knows simply that Francesco is hiding something. When Elena
discovers the truth about the group of prisoners, the fine line between love
and hate pulls her towards an act that can only have terrible consequences for
all.
