The Shoemaker's Wife by Adriana Trigiani

Sigh. Oh, I liked this book! It's a nice, long tale that you almost hate to see end.

This story of Ciro and Enza, and how their lives intertwine over the years is a delight. I loved learning about Italy, and New York City at the turn of the century. It was interesting to get a glimpse of what it was like to be an immigrant to the United States.

I enjoy Trigiani's works, and this ranks right up there as one of the best. I highly recommend it.

Just what I needed.
