Work detailsMilk Glass Moon by Adriana Trigiani (2002)
None. There's something about the characters that Trigiani creates--they are very memorable. I've read all the Big Stone Gap books together, recently, for the first time, and the characters are sticking in my head. Good fun--great summer reading. (  ) Marliesd | Mar 27, 2011 |  The third book in the Ave Maria series. Such a comfort read - it's a lovely. warm-hearted book. Back Cover Blurb: A daughter's first love, a mother's heartbreak, an enduring marriage facing its own ongoing challenges, and a community faced with seismic changes, all are deep at the heart of Adriana Trigiani's third novel. As she faces the joys and demands of motherhood, Ave Maria continues her life story with her trademark humour and honesty. Reaching into the past to find answers to the present, Ave Maria is led to places she never dreamed she would go, and to people who enter her life and rock its foundation. Milk Glass Moon is about the power of love and its abiding truth, and captures Trigiani at her most lyrical, affectionate and heartfelt. (  ) mazda502001 | Mar 16, 2011 | I rejected Trigiani's earlier two books in favour of this one that sounded more interesting. Then I figured out while reading it that they were a series of three. I'll probably go back and read the first two at some point now.
The story spans about six years as the narrator's daughter ages from twelve to eighteen. I really liked the time span. A lot of books cover a very short period of time, a year, or several lifetimes. I can't remember reading many books covering a few years like this. The author has crammed tons into the story, some of which seems rather irrelevant (but which may make more sense in the contaxt of the two earlier books) but I liked it that way, it felt like a complete story. nocto | Dec 8, 2010 | Trigiani is a wonderful author and this series of books is simply marvelous. ( ) susanbevans | Jan 15, 2010 | Ave, Jack Mack, Iva Lou ande Etta feel like family now. I have enjoyed all three books and I am looking forward to the fourth. I just wish Eta's story didn't feel so rushed. (  ) asomers | Sep 7, 2009 | no reviews | add a review
