This is a great story about a young woman growing up in Greenwich Village in the 50s as a daughter of Italian parents. I loved it for its family ties and in depth perception of the character of people, her portrayal of family values and the way life was like back then, with more attention put on quality rather than quantity. I have yet to read a book by Adriana Trigiani that I didn't love, and this story is no exception. It made me wish I'd been born of such an Italian family.
