Riassunto

As children, Angel and Lina Lupo want nothing more than to escape their Italian-American Catholic upbringing for a "normal" American childhood, but as they deal with the challenges of adult relationships, romances, and the future, they rediscover the value of family bonds and love. By the author of Pink Slip. Reprint.

— USA Today

“Simultaneously blunt and artful ... Ciresi has a lovely ear for dialogue and the ability to nail the details in descriptions that are both funny and painfully accurate.”
— The New York Times Book Review
