This debut novel, a pseudonymous collaboration by a team of Italian-American cousins, mixes unpleasant stereotypes with powerfully authentic domestic scenes of Italian immigrants and their descendants. Progressing from the 1930s through the early '50s, the story follows two daughters from a desperately poor family. Neither sister will acquiesce to the traditional but stultifying demands for obedience and submission as issued by their father, who hopes to protect them from the corrupting influences of the New World. Instead, each seeks to realize her own version of the American Dream, nearly losing her way among upper-class Italian immigrants whose money offers entree to American society. But the pair triumphs, one sibling becoming an opera singer and the other a financial wizard.

During the summer of 1997, the year of the comet, four people reach a turning point: Alice Valentine, who lies gravely ill in her West Country home; her younger son, still searching for a sense of direction; his brother, fighting to keep his acting career and marriage afloat; and László Lázár, who leads a charmed life of exile in Paris yet is plagued by his memories of the 1956 Hungarian uprising. For each the time has come to assess what matters in life, to grapple with sex, love, morality and destiny. And all will take part in an act of liberation - though not necessarily the one foreseen...... v angličtine, brožovaná, 323 strán
