I appreciated Enza's and Ciro's perseverance and loved that they both came to consider themselves American. Their story made me have a greater appreciation of my own grandparents bravery and hard work when they immigrated to this country.<br /><br />With its beautiful writing, lush descriptions, historical details, wonderful characters, and love story, THE SHOEMAKER'S WIFE has something to please every reader. It made me smile and cry - it's a book you don't want to miss.Luxembourghttp://process4reality.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091584537195738879.post-66874513737340247242012-06-05T10:11:17.883-04:002012-06-05T10:11:17.883-04:00This book sounds amazing and not just because of i...This book sounds amazing and not just because of its wonderful setting! Italy and England are 2 countries I dream about visiting.<br />This story sounds totally engaging. I have yet to read any of Adriana Trigiani's books but I will! Her books and her writing receive rave reviews consistently. I am sure I'm missing out and must change this.<br /><br />Your review here is wonderful. I really enjoyed it and you've convinced me this should be my first book by this author!<br />Thank you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091584537195738879.post-55969168259390856682012-04-28T23:27:52.401-04:002012-04-28T23:27:52.401-04:00I've not read any Adriana Trigiani but I'v...I've not read any Adriana Trigiani but I've heard good things about her and plan too.
