    Read it at my desk until I was finished...
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2019*

I began this book as soon as I received it in the mail and I didn't stop reading until I  finished it, including at work!  (Shhh!)  It's not a thriller-type page turner, but it IS a page turner.  The story starts in a tiny village in Italy before WWII (and I kept picturing the village that Strega Nona from the children's book lived in as the story unfolded) and ends in a suburb in Connecticut.  The story goes through a lot of twists and turns as the plot develops but fundamentally I would describe this book as one about a modern woman who was born into a culture and family that couldn't accept that a woman might need more than just a husband and a house and a litter of children to find happiness.  I think a lot of readers will be shocked at being reminded about how much really has changed for women in the last 100 years and how stifling it was to live in a world where your father and husband could control your every move. The book is also interesting because it is being narrated in the modern day by the main character's granddaughter, who had largely assumed that her grandmother was just a "typical" old lady, cranky, living in suburbia,  in the midst of a large Italian clan.  I've assumed the same about so many of the elderly women I've met, mostly the grandmothers and grand-aunts of friends and this book made me think more deeply about the stories they likely have to tell.  I think this would be a great Mother's Day gift or present for one's mother or grandmother.  Even though its 300 pages, they are a quick read because the writing is very clear and the plot moves fast.  Definitely recommend!

    An Immigrant Story, and also a Queer Story
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2019*

For those interested in stories with queer protagonists, here is one you might overlook as reviewers have not been discussing this topic. Though Stella and her narrator don't use modern language to talk about it, she is an aromantic and a sex repulsed asexual who ends up suffering marital rape. While some of her family is sympathetic about her asexuality, her aromantic identity is completely dismissed by her family and culture. The exception, of course, is our narrator who shows us that Stella's identity and its dismissal is one of the fundamental arcs of her story. Not an empowering story about queer identity, but a compelling history about the difficulties of life for queer folk in recent generations.

    The (Italian-American) Color Purple
  

*by D***9 on Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2019*

Beautifully written, sweeping in scope, Grames' novel is one of the best books I've read this year. The read is not always comfortable -- these are Italian immigrants struggling first in the hills of Calabria and then in the new world and there is violence and abuse at a few points in the novel -- but it is very real. I think this is a book that fans of "Olive Kitteridge", "Big Stone Gap", or (and I mean it) "The Color Purple" will enjoy. It's a powerful book that you will think about long after turning the last page.
