When I read Ursula Hegi's Stones from the River I assumed she must've been a German dwarf to be able to relate that story so convincingly; and now I can't believe she's not a New York Roman-Catholic Italian. Hegi manages to sound more authentic New York Roman-Catholic Italian than my husband's actual New York Roman-Catholic Italian family does!
Sacred Time is the story of four generations of Amedeos in the Bronx. Grandmother Riptide and her husband have an amazing love story beginning with their first meeting when she dives in and saves him from drowning. Their children Florio and Victor marry and separate from their own loves, have children of their own, and together suffer and survive the unthinkable - the loss of a child. Their story is told by different members of this fractured family, over the course of fifty years.
