Don't Sing at the Table: Life Lessons from My Grandmothers
by Adriana Trigiani
I really enjoyed this book from one of my favorite authors. Adriana is such a wonderful storyteller and after reading about her grandmothers, I can see where she has gotten the inspiration for her characters. I liked reading about Viola since my great grandparents lived in Roseto and I live in the same area. When reading this book, you can tell how much Adriana loved and admired her grandmothers. This book is a wonderful tribute to their legacy. It has made me miss my grandmother and wish that I still had her to share stories and spend time together. Unfortunately, my paternal grandmother died several weeks after I was born and my maternal grandmother lived 3,000 miles away. Even though I did get to see her at least once a year and she was in my life for 37 years, this book made me realize how much I still missed out on and made me regret things that I should have asked her.
I had the pleasure of meeting Adriana several years ago at a book signing and she is so friendly, personable and funny. You meet her and she makes you feel like family or a close friend. I hope to get the chance to meet her again and can't wait to read more of her books.
