I'm a fan of Adriana Trigiani, I've liked every one of her novels that I've read and have recommended them to others. I was excited for this more personal memoir of her family.

It was a wonderful, loving tribute and I began to understand where a lot of the inspiration for her novels came from. "Write what you know." Well, many of her characters seemed to spring directly from these grandmothers!

Unfortunately, overall, this memoir just did not grab me. It was slow going, but fortunately, not too long.
