Cannoli di Sicilia
There are three main tenets to being Sicilian – God, family and food; and not necessarily in that order. My branch of the family may well be the only bunch of Sicilians in the Universe who are not religious. In fact, we take great pleasure from poking fun at my Uncle’s fountain of Mother Mary, which apparently had to take priority over ensuring there was sufficient parking space in his country villa. We often imagine the amusement of switching the mosquito-filled water with the velvety hue of some homemade red wine and watching my Uncle’s baffled expression as he contemplated whether Mary had, in fact, paid his villa a visit in the night.

The Dome
Three soft tones. It was always the same three notes that exuberantly echoed around Sarah’s pod. At first, they had been quite a pleasant sound to wake up to, but the novelty had quickly worn off and they now served as a daily reminder of her reality, cruelly served at 6:00am each morning.
