5.0 out of 5 stars
bella story,
By Ashley Cooley (Corinth, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lucia, Lucia: A Novel (Hardcover)
Lucia, Lucia has everything I love to read about: fashion, art, travel, food, religion, love, and most importantly family. I loved it when the family visited Italy, I felt like I was there with Lucia and Rosemary walking the streets of Rome. Lucia's family means everything to her, especially her Papa. Lucia believes she is cursed in love, but getting married is not her dream like it is for her friends. She wants more! Work is important to her. She loves her job at B. Altman's working with her best friends Ruth and Delmarr. I loved that this took place in the early 50's because it's untraditional to what I know about the 50's. I'm crazy about this book and will keep it because there are some recipes in it I can't wait to try like tartufo (snowballs). I would recommend this to sisters, friends, mothers, and mother-in-laws.

No ear for dialogue; something's missing here,
By
This review is from: Lucia, Lucia: A Novel (Hardcover)
Everyone who checks this book out of the library where I work enjoys it very much, so read my review with a grain of salt. I did enjoy reading the book on a long plane trip; it passed the time in a pleasant way. If I'd been home and had other things to do, other books to read, I may not have finished it. I love a book where the dialogue is realistic and the actions characters take seem fitting and believable. There is something amateurish about the way this book is written. Somehow it just doesn't ring true to my ear. Also, I wonder about how the book was set up: you know right from the very start that "Aunt Lu" never gets married. That ruins the suspense that might have built later in the story. Not only did I think the beginning nearly ruined the story, but it also seemed contrived. I did enjoy learning about that time period and the pressure the modern world puts on the traditions of family and culture. I also very much enjoyed learning about Lucia's job; her love of her work and passion for fashion, cloth, style was quite convincing.

Lucia, Lucia,
By Mary (Austin,TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lucia, Lucia: A Novel (Paperback)
An excellent read, It captivated my attention! This is the firstbook I have read by Adriana Trigiani. I have already ordered 3 of her other novels. I'm sure they will delight!I felt Lucia's character was very real. The Sartori's travels to Italy were warm and familial. This book will touch your heart It deals with weddings, death, love and close knit family bonds. I recommend it highly!
