Title: I Know These People And Don't Like Them
Product review: I had to take two breaks from this book but kept returning. What I both liked and disliked about it is its Italianness. I loved that it felt authentic to its core and I liked the writing. I recognized the people from my own family and by their resemblance to friends who were born in Italy. This is not an American Italian story, it is Italian through and through. There is a lot of old world petty intrigue, hysteria, machismo, ignorance, manipulation, insinuation, stiffling class and gender boundaries, a touch of politics (but of course). Reading this book reminded me how much I disliked my uncles Vito and Sal. Glad I read it, though.
