Synopsis

John Philips had once loved the beautiful wilful Marchesina - in her decaying, vaulted palace everything seemed possible. But in 1947 he returns to a brutally changed Sicily - an island beset by strikes and starvation, where revolution stirs in the mountains and confrontation threatens the ancient feudal rights of its princes.Seconded by British Intelligence to report on the rise of a Sicilian Separatist Movement led by Salvatore Giuliano, Philips renews past friendships and rekindles old passions. But while he grows to cherish what is left of the island that he once knew, the politics of the modern world suddenly impinge to show him there can be no going back.
