It was nice to read about italians in USA and the lifestyle of 50's and 60's. I recommend this for all who are interested past lifestyle and italians. ( )I ended up liking the book. I had a hard time getting into it at first, but I had to keep at it. It's about the struggles of Italian immigrants in the US and how this one family established life here. An insight into the life of a typical Italian-American family living in New York in the fifties and sixties. Bursting with gritty tension and misfortune. no reviews | add a review
