Critique
This is the exuberant first in a planned trilogy by Trigiani, and she definitely starts the series off with a dramatic flourish. Romantic and heartwarming, yet a very realistic depiction of three generations of an Italian American family. The cover art is absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommend!
