He explains how he was a fugitive and a rebel and this has become helpful because he now has knowledge and history . His surname now has become filled with meaning and I think throughout the book he finds himself similar to his great great grand father. Unfortunately he died as a fugitive and rebel and thats what he was remembered for.
Josephina raised Ettore to be s young vibrant boy . Like most boy's he became slightly a little too adventurous. At his sixth birthday he became a fisherman. He got mislead one day with his friends and unfortunately was sold as a slave to Pilates. The adventure and torture begins.
The author has a narrating nature. We see the author having less dialogue and conversations between characters only to have him explain and narrate the entire book . I did not like this as it gives characters less life. The mentioning also of different people at different times without further explaining who these extended names were was also daunting. I loved the tone and how the lay out and plot aligned. I'm giving it a 2 out of 5. He could do better
