Thank you to the publisher and getredpr for the copy of this book. 

I found this memoir to be an absolute page turner. I loved the Italian history of the author’s family and the small town where they were from. As someone’s whose own father was a first generation Italian American I felt I could connect to this story and I found myself making a list of things I would love to research about my own family. 

The only qualm I had was sometimes the timeline jumping was a bit all over. But once I got into a groove, it was easy to keep with!
