“The Shape of Water” is a philosophical detective novel, something between the works of Leonardo Sciascia (the "national" writer of Sicily) and John le Carré. It is also the story of Sicily, the blood, the deceit, organized corruption, and the games of power, as well as the magic of the landscape and the people.
The hero of Andrea Camilleri is Inspector Montalbano, who at first resembles Inspector Maigret but evolves into something much broader, into a familiar and multifaceted character: the embodiment of "Sicilianity," which is a language, a culture, a grand adventure.
“The Shape of Water” is a major Italian bestseller, a philosophical detective novel about how one lives and dies in today’s Sicily.
