Bitter Seeds: The Quest for Black Gold

Love, hate, sibling rivalry, the Italian mafia, the Vatican, mental disorders, and war are some of the topics that will engulf you in this family saga that has its beginnings in Alciello, a small village in the mountainous region of Naples from where twins Alessandro and Nicola descend. Alessandro will be the first to become a coffee magnate of Rome and Nicola to be the personal secretary of Pope Leo XIII. Their search for "black gold" in the island of Puerto Rico will unite them in spite of their philosophical and religious differences and will plunge Alessandro into the midst of the Spanish-American War of 1898.
