Awesome

I could not put this book down until I finished it. It was so well written. As a first generation Italian/American I felt this book was a true story. Trigiani always makes you feel like you are right in the place she is writing about.

Another Beauty!

Tragini is brilliant, down to earth and very Italian. Any Italian or one interested in Italian culture, especially as it related to immigrants to America, will love this story. Her writing is always homey and close, completely bringing you into this family with its loves and pains.
