Synopsis: Set in 1890s Sicily, Whispers of the Old Country follows Enrico Lombardi, a young man with nothing, who builds a criminal enterprise from the ground up after his mother's death leaves him alone in a cliffside town controlled by a powerful Don. The story weaves authentic Sicilian dialect throughout and explores loyalty, betrayal, and what a man becomes when he finds power.
Looking for: Readers who enjoy literary fiction, historical settings, or crime narratives. Familiarity with The Godfather or similar works is a bonus but not required.
Format: PDF or Google Doc — whatever works for you.
Turnaround: No pressure on timeline. Whenever you can get to it honestly is better than rushed feedback.
Note: This is Book One of a planned trilogy. It reads as a complete standalone.
