Review by: Jambob
If you are of
Italian descent you must read this author....if not read her anyway! She
writes so clearly that all her characters come alive in your mind and
heart. This one is about immigrants who come
to America because they want to work hard, love this country, make a
better life for themselves and send some money back home to help the
family. How refreshing! Of course she chooses Italian immigrants
reflecting her own heritage. The time period is late 1800s
to 1930s from the mountains of Northern Italy to New York when Caruso
was singing at the Met to the Iron Range of Minnesota. Make yourself a cappuccino, have a biscotti and enjoy this book! Do not worry that some
of her books are trilogies...each story stands
alone and can even be read out of order.
