Book Synopsis:
In the book, a small culturally mixed community, living in an apartment
building in the center of Rome, is thrown into disarray when one of the
neighbors is murdered. An investigation ensues, and as each of the
victim's neighbors is questioned, the reader is introduced to, perhaps,
the most colorful neighborhood in the city. Each character takes his turn
recounting his story—the dramas of emigration, the fears and
misunderstandings of a life spent on society's margins, the mainstream
culture's indifference.
