Don't Sing at the Table Listener Reviews
-
" Adriana Trigiani writes interestingly about her relationships with both her grandmothers. I found it of interest since much of the time period corresponded with my own life and my grandmothers, one a child immigrant and one a first-generation. "

" It was interesting to read about the author's grandmothers, especially since I've read some ofthe author's fiction. "
— Paulette, 6/20/2011 -
" I found this book hard to get into. The book starts with sequential life events of her grandmothers, which frankly isn't really that interesting. Overall it is a good book to read on and off but I never really found a solid story line. "
