A review by annakim
Alligator Bayou by Donna Jo Napoli
2.0
In the Louisiana swamps, where segregation is still the way of life, young Calogero, a Sicilian, falls in love with Patricia, a young African American girl, disregarding the censure and disapproval of the community.
Though this book does a great job exposing readers to the little known history of Sicilians in the south and the injustices they faced, the writing is a bit weak and the pacing tends to be rather slow.
