| Growing up an Italian-Canadian woman in the New World sometimes involves the keeping of secrets, the telling of lies, and the patience of a saint. In 25 stories, 18 women share their tales of remembrance and resistance - some comic, some tragic, some nostaligic - all true. Their voices echo from coast to coast, across generations, and across the Atlantic as they talk about living a double life with a private/public split personality. Intimate, inspiring, brave, and confessional, their words reveal women old enough to reminisce yet young enough to revolutionize Balancing between the Old Country and the new, a respect for tradition and the need to break with it, this collection is a rare and surprising blend of humour and candor that promises the perfect conversation-starter at the next wedding, funderal, or book club. Mamma Mia! What will they think of next? |
