The Sicilian Veil of
Shame is the second book in the African Freedom Series by Lucia Mann. It is
a continuation of the story readers were introduced in Rented Silence. In this book, Brianna follows her maternal
grandmother’s story from Sicilia to a Nazi concentration camp to Africa back to
Sicilia. The story tells the story of Maria Teresa Genovese, the only daughter
of mafia boss of the powerful Genovese family. Her life was changed forever on
the night of her 10th birthday when she was kidnapped from her
bedroom. As the ransom plans don’t go as plan, Maria is soon sold to a brothel
where she is soon sent to Auschwitz. She experiences the horrors of the
infamous camp and set free when the camp is liberated on January 27, 1945.
Brianna hears her grandmother’s story while trying to piece together the
strange events which are occurring in the house. Can she find the secret that
Maria is finding? Will she be able to find peace after learning her family’s
torrid history?
The Sicilian Veil of
Shame is a horrific story of the atrocities that human beings imposed of
those they think are less than them. I didn’t find the book as emotional or
horrifying as Rented Silence;
however, it was still heartbreaking to read about a story of Maria’s trials. The things people have done and will do to others is beyond comprehension. The ending is shocking and leads to a possible third book to explore more of
atrocities which happened around the world and still happen today. I highly
recommend The Sicilian Veil of Shame.
