#1 New York Times bestselling author LISA SCOTTOLINE joins BOOKSTORM Podcast to discuss LOYALTY, her newest novel! Lisa takes us to the rugged and beautiful island of Sicily, where lush lemon groves and mouth-watering cuisine contrast with a turbulent history of colonization and corruption. She shares fascinating details about what inspired her characters ... and how she wandered all over Sicily (including being thrown out of a place!) for her research! We cover it all -- we talked about darkness and light. Justice and oppression. Hardship and fighting the good fight. Do you have superstitions that haunt you? Do you blame bad things on something you've done? We discussed the foundations of modern Sicily, the rise of the Mafia, the role (and secret power) of women in 19th Century Sicily. We touched on power in relationships, justice, class warfare, colonization, capitalism, and love. (and how do we do every act with love?) Do you know what the Italian word "Agita" means? We do now! And bonus: FLAT BRADLEY COOPER makes an hilarious sort-of appearance :-)
