Informazioni sul libro
Although unaware while growing up, organized crime pervaded the music industry and his life. Later he found there was more of a connection than he first realized.
This anthology of related short stories is fictitious and, in a humorous, unusual way, depicts the life of a young Italian man who grows questioning his participation in war, love and family.
Three Sisters and a Funeral captures the eloquence, character development and vernacular of an Italian family similar to the way Alice McDermott’s Charming Billy and Frank McCourt’s Angela’s Ashes capture the insights of Irish-Americans.
4 STARS!
…. this novel is very entertaining! The author even wrote in the NY accent. I especially enjoyed the stories from Sicily in the early 1900's. Recommended reading. Detra Fitch, HUNTRESS REVIEWS
