Book excerpt: Genio is the story of a shepherd, a poor and unschooled Italian boy, caught up in the greatest mass migration in modern history: the emigration of four million Italians to North and South America. Swept along in this flood of humanity, Genio lands in Brazil, and scratches and claws his way to a position of power and influence. Distracted by the patrician beauty of the young Maria, swept up in the passion of the mixed-blood, Trinita, he hazards everything for the sake of his fellow immigrants. But tragedy destroys his whole world. Turning his back on Brazil, Genio sails to New York, determined to re-build his life in a new land.
