Review:

"New York ambition clashes with dolce vita ease in Trigiani's delicious latest. . . . Feisty and poignant . . . Readers will root for Valentine and the lessons she learns--which apply equally to designing elegant shoes and to crafting a rewarding life."--People

"Superb. Trigiani's ability to bring the large, warm, enveloping--if somewhat dysfunctional--family to life will keep any reader engrossed and entertained."--Publishers Weekly

"Val's eccentric family keeps the book going at a quick pace. . . . Recommended for all Trigiani fans and those who've enjoyed a good cookie table (an Italian tradition commonly seen at weddings in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia)."--Library Journal

"I've always loved reading Trigiani, but [this] is something totally new and completely wonderful: a rich, sweeping epic which tells the story of the women and men who built America dream by dream. If you're meeting her work for the first time, get ready for a lifelong love affair. Splendid."--Kathryn Stockett, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of The Help

"The novel is a sweeping epic, but at its heart, it's a love story. It speaks to an era of possibilities."--Providence Journal

"Delightful, energetic. . . . Trigiani is a seemingly effortless storyteller."--Boston Globe
