Written by an Algerian author, this book is a nice and funny tale about interactions between italians and immigrants/foreigners that live in a building in Rome, where happens to be a murder. Using the investigation as a starting point, the author lets all the character talk, and shows a picture of modern italian society, with its contraddictions, sometimes superficiality, nonethless with its life. Very nice. I loved this book!
