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. Mafia subplots, however, are incongruous in what is for the most part a moving saga of family love.... v angličtine, brožovaná, malý formát, 485 strán

Corn flakes for dinner

Katalogové číslo: P874

It was Aidan Comerford's big break! He'd just stepped off stage having been crowned the winner of "So You Think You're Funny" at the Edinburgh Fringe. He returned home elated, only to find out his youngest daughter, who has autism, had gone missing near a lake. This was the moment he realized personal dreams can never take precedence over family; a family struggling through unemployment, money, and - in the midst of it all - two daughters with autism. This book is about what happens when expectations don't meet reality and, dreams crushed, you carry on and discover that even the darkest of clouds can reveal a silver lining regardless... v angličtine, brožovaná, 296 strán
