Review of The Road to Moresco
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Road to Moresco" by Mark Jamilkowski.]
A journey of close to five generations from Italian origin and straight into the middle of the Second World War is what a reader should be braced for when reading The Road to Moresco . Misplaced between duties for his young family and his country, Marcello abandons his family to partake in the war. His upbringing kind of instilled some sense of duty in him, and the regret and disdain are carried on by his supposed wife, Maria Luisa, who becomes bitter even in the raising of her daughter whom she named Chiara before getting more children after falling in love again and again. The book was so generous to walk us through Chiara's life, her literal ups and downs, her constant fights with her mother, including a court battle, as well as her departure to run her own love affairs and raise her family.
The book was incredibly interesting in terms of the plot. It portrays the ill nature of human society, especially resulting in wars where women and children get disoriented being caught in between. The book clearly portrays the importance of parents in a child's life and how the outcome is determined when the child is grown, either receiving their parents' love or just bearing the brunt of unfulfilled relationships and all the wicked things the young ones are exposed to.
The book has been professionally edited with little to no errors. It has made use of chapters that encourage reading as well as dialogue throughout the book. One can't fail to notice the great font and spacing, which also enhances reading and even memorability. We also get to see how music enabled people to make a living at that time.
Mark Jamilkowski inadvertently raises questions in regards to the family institution. Actually, the book largely slopes in that direction, letting us get to witness the breakdown of marriages and relationships and the value of peace and understanding in a relationship. The sickness menace also featured cancer being a heavy burden for a number of our characters. I disliked the jumping and falling out of relationships as it portrayed recklessness and misuse of others.
I undoubtedly rate the book 5 out of 5 stars for the grammar, the use of dialogue, the real-time war experience, as well as getting to learn that how people are raised when children largely determines the amount of peace they'll get out of life and give out all the same. I would recommend it to youngsters, as this one can open their minds, especially when it comes to relationships since many think that it's about the spark rather than the friendship.
