Lucia, Lucia: A Novel Audiobook

" LIGHT READ, AND ENJOYABLE, I THINK I WOULD ACTUALLG GIVE THIS THREE AND HALF STARS. THIS IS A GREAT TRAVEL BOOK THAT IS JUST NICE. "

" Great book. A chick book. "

" My first introduction with Trigiany, I like her style. Its very obvious of her italian upbringing influences her style and the storyline. Lucia, Lucia is a tragic story of a beautiful and independent girl, Lucia, who was suppose to able bring the world on her knees but ended with ironically although it was explained she didn't regret of her life. The only think I feel unnecessary is how Lucia's life has been predicted by her aunt curse while her mom still pregnant with her. But I can see this is necessary for her 'very Italian' plot. I admire more of Italian culture with resemblences my own where family comes first. Where parents will try as much as they can to care and provide their children. Vice versa where thing like nursing home is unheard of because children should look after their parents when they couldn't anymore. "

" I loved the setting of this book (NYC in the 1950's). Its a great love story that doesn't seem like a happy ending, then it does, then it doesn't, then ... "

" No matter how close emotionally, children grow up and folow thier onw paths.It is a great read. "

" One of my favorite books, this took me back to the 1950s world of fashion design and merchandising, with a great love story woven in. It was my introduction to Adriana Trigiani, who did a delightful phone interview with my book club. Then I had to read all the rest of her books! "

" I LOVED this book. I have read a couple of other books by Trigiani before, which I really enjoyed, but this was something else. I just loved the story and the writing. If you're in my book club, don't steal this because I may pick it for my next book. "

" An easy read although not very well-written. Reads more like a novel for junior high schoolers. Despite the authors juvenile writing style, I'm thoroughly enjoying the main characters uncanny similarity to my grandmother and the familiar lives of Italian Americans in New York. "
