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

Katalogové číslo: H282

When journalist Abigail Long gets her own column--Abigail's Party--she is propelled into the sparkling world of celebrity, champagne and canapés.

After a close relationship with the hottest new actor in town, Abigail suddenly finds herself on the other side of the lens. And so she begins her final descent into true canapé hell.My Canapé Hell is a sharp, witty debut which offers a wry insider's view into the world of PR, parties and professional small talk. It is a biting and wickedly funny satire on the celebrity circuit from a talented new novelist... v angličtine, brožovaná, 277 strán, malý formát
