Product Information
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * "This heartwarming tale is full of lessons about taking risks in life and love."-- Cosmopolitan "Funny, visual, and moving . . . A vibrant, loving, wistful portrait of a lost time and place."-- Richmond Times-Dispatch It is 1950 in glittering, vibrant New York City, and Lucia Sartori is the beautiful twenty-five-year-old daughter of a prosperous Italian grocer in Greenwich Village. The postwar boom is rife with opportunities for talented girls with ambition, and Lucia becomes an apprentice to an up-and-coming designer at chic B. Altman department store on Fifth Avenue. Engaged to her childhood sweetheart, the steadfast Dante DeMartino, Lucia is torn when she meets a handsome stranger who promises a life of uptown luxury that career girls like her only read about in the society pages. Forced to choose between duty to her family and her own dreams, Lucia finds herself in the midst of a sizzling scandal in which secrets are revealed, her beloved career is jeopardized, and the Sartoris' honor is tested.

A vibrant, loving, wistful portrait of a lost time and place. Every page is engrossing and begs us to read the next." Richmond Times-Dispatch "TRIGIANI'S WRITING IS AS DAZZLING AS LUCIA'S DRESSES." USA Today "COMPELLING . . . A BREEZY READ." Entertainment Weekly "[Trigiani] writes with commanding authenticity about Italian-American life, the landscape of Italy, and New York City. . . . Lucia, her Italian family, her ambitious girlfriends, her colorful boss, and her mysterious lover are colorful, poignant characters, representative of another time, yet as real as today. . . . Trigiani has proved she is a multi-faceted writer whose name and stories will be celebrated for years to come." Richmond Times-Dispatch "Adriana Trigiani's enchanting new novel will find a warm welcome from every reader who has encountered a fork in the road to love and taken the more perilous path. . . .

Trigiani does a wonderful job evoking Lucia's beloved, homey Greenwich Village and the couture-clad Upper East Side. Vivid, too, are the descriptions of Italian cooking and feasting, and the Sartoris' storybook hometown in the old country." Boston Herald "This is your perfect summer read. Trust us.
