How do you survive when tragedy is your constant companion? With nearly all his family dead, Pascal Bruno turns to a life of crime to survive. His only hope of escape is through the love of Teresa, a servant for a local Countess. But when Teresa is made to marry someone else, Pascal vows to have his revenge. Set in Palermo in the late 18th century, ́The Sicilian Bandit́ is another reliable pageturner from Alexandre Dumas. There are plenty of pirates, plots, and sword fights, and Pascal is a moody anti-hero worth rooting for. Recommended for lovers of Dumas' more action-packed historical fiction
