Title: Disappointing
Review: While I don't believe a writer has to follow in his/her own footsteps and write the same type of books over and over, this departure by Adriana Trigiani is not successful.While it has the obligatory trip to Italy, it makes little or nothing of the trip and since a decorator is making the trip, I would have thought that she would have included a wealth of description here. Instead the trip is glossed over and we are treated to only those descriptions of ottomans and fabric that adorn the homes of di Crespi's New Jersey clients.The book is filled with caricatures and not characters and no New Jersey Italian stereotype is left unturned.Not much of a story and the main character is rather boring as well.If you insist on reading it, save your money and go to the library.
