Generations of Espositos on the Island of Castellamare Living in The House at the Edge of Night

The House at the Edge of NightThe House at the Edge of Night by Catherine Banner
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

While interesting with relatable characters, the book was too long and repetitious. Castellamare and its inhabitants survive two world wars, gossip, superstition, secrets, scandals and family infighting over a period of several generations. Over it all devotion to Sant'Agata and her annual festival serves as the touchstone of the passage of time. That and the family residing in the house at the edge of night.
