Praise for Kiss Carlo: "For Adri-addicts and newcomers alike, Kiss
Carlo is a delightfully retro read from novelist Adriana Trigiani,
best-selling author of The Shoemaker's Wife. Carlo is a sprawling
story that stretches from Italy to Philadelphia and New York to
interweave the lives of hard-working Italian families making a
living in the years after World War II. . . . Nicky and Calla's
chemistry is crackling; they don't talk so much as banter. The path
they must travel to each other's side is winding but rewarding,
mostly because of the characters they meet along the way. . . . At
a time when crass seems to trump class in popular culture, Kiss
Carlo may be just what we need, a warmhearted romp that's a welcome
escape from novels about girls who are gone/on a train/tattooed.
Kiss Carlo is set in a world where people don't eat pasta, they eat
macaroni, and the secret isn't in the sauce but in the gravy. Now
that's Italian--and an incredibly satisfying dish to dig into.
Three and a half out of four stars."--USA Today
"A world of warm, lively characters whose charming idiosyncrasies
lead them to collide and ricochet along the way to love.... A
delightfully sprawling comedy full of extended families."--Kirkus
Reviews
"Accompanying Nicky on his journey of self-discovery is worth the
trip."--Richmond Times-Dispatch
"An important story that goes beyond the meaning of family to the
deeper question of what it means to have a life well-lived."--The
Mountain Times
"If you are looking for a page turner this summer, pick up Adriana
Trigiani's Kiss Carlo. . . I look forward to every new book by
Adriana Trigiani. She is not only delightful in person, but her
books are a joy to read. That includes her latest novel Kiss Carlo,
this month's book buyer pick. . .The sweeping multigenerational
story effortlessly transports readers from Italy to the streets of
South Philly to New York City, while the characters explore the
ties that bind, tradition, wanting more from life, Shakespeare and
much more. As they examine what they want for themselves, they also
celebrate love, hope and family. . . Best of all? Trigiani tells
this story with her trademark wit and joie de vivre." --The Costco
Connection
