The Emperor of Ice-Cream by Dan Gunn

Tells the moving tale of an Italian family living in Scotland during the rise of Mussolini and his rule in Italy. This story is told from the point of view of Lucia, the family's daughter, who, at 83, reflects on her childhood.
"An enthralling story about war, love, loyalty, and lives simply lived in the shadow of forces-war, xenophobia, racism, terror-that determined the lives of Gunn's moving characters and remain equally relevant for so many, the world over, today" (Neil Gordon, author of The Company You Keep.)"
Dan Gunn is professor of comparative literature and English at the American University of Paris, where he is also the director of the Center for Writers and Translators.
