"To Each His Own"

Paper Summary:

"To Each His Own" is one of the masterpieces of the eminent Sicilian novelist Leonardo Sciascia. The writer describes this novel as a grasping and an unorthodox detective story based on the ruthless, silent and unjustified killings of the two inhabitants of Sicily. It explains how in "To Each His Own", Leonardo Sciascia provides a thorough analysis of Sicilian life, the betrayal of things and incidents observed, the spell-binding and mind boggling mystery hiding an unjustified murder of two innocent lives; wrongful demises that had no apparent clue and hardly any obvious motive.

From the Paper:

"In addition to the above, To Each His Own offers a simple illustration of an intricate culture full of surprises, filth and dark secrets of the society belonging to the Sicilian individuals. This magnum opus by the brilliant author, Leonardo provides the structure of a society made up of thousands of secrets, deception, conspiracy and violation of rules and regulations (Sciascia, Backcover). Most significantly, the author of this magnum opus has addressed highly controversial issues pertaining to the social as well as political life of the people of Sicily and has uncovered the mysteries and depraved practices (that were commonly acceptable to the society) with the help of well-crafted writing skills."
