Vengeance is in the family, and the family is a bond like no otherā¦
Itās the worst year of the Great Depression, and America needs all the hope it can get. The Chicago Worldās Fair, a glittery city-within-a-city, becomes a symbol of the good thatās yet to come. But every utopia has a seedy sideāand thatās Rosa Mancusoās world. As the mysterious Madame Mystique she mixes magic with a dose of bare skin burlesque, bringing customers to the home of the Fairās carnival rides and spectacles.
Rosa doesnāt perform for fame, though. She has come from Mussoliniās Italy to America, where sheās plotting her revenge for the murders of her family. The perpetrator will soon arrive at the Worldās Fair via a celebrated Italian air fleet, and Rosa is determined to be prepared.
But when her estranged cousin, Mina, comes to her desperate for help, with a dangerous mobster close on her heels, Rosa agrees to protect Mina and her new baby, born across the color line. With the clock ticking, Rosa decides the only way to survive is to make vengeance a family affair and prompt everyone to, at last, confront the sins from their pasts.
A gripping story of retribution, belonging, and survival,Ā Sinners of Starlight CityĀ boldly explores the complexity of identities straddling ethnic lines and asks, who gets to decide who we are and where we belong?
