Description

Fire in My Bones is a fictional account of facts based on the Sacco and Vanzetti case, two Italian immigrants accused---many to this day believe wrongfully---of a crime they did not commit. Sacco, a shoemaker, and Vanzetti, a fish peddler, were self-proclaimed anarchists. More specifically, they were workers’ – rights advocates during the time of the Great War and soon after when the Red Scare was sweeping the country and Attorney General Mitchell Palmer was making raids on and deporting suspected radical immigrants. The novel builds on details of unfortunate coincidences. The bad timing of their arrest (blatantly wrongful to begin with?) that suddenly thrusts them in the public eye, leads to their subsequent trials, convictions and executions at midnight August 22, 1927 among a maelstrom of raging protests and riots throughout the world.
