Lucia, Lucia
I've listened to a lot of Trigiani's stuff lately and I like her writing style. I like that she follows the every day lives of her heroines. She seems to write mostly about Italians (makes sense, since that is her own heritage) and while I can't sympathize with a rich family history, I can relate to the women and their struggles and triumphs. It's what draws me into her stories.In this case, Kit lives in an apartment building in NYC and meets her elderly upstairs neighbor, Lucia. This is an opportunity for Lucia to tell Kit her life story.
The story is sweet and it's nice to listen to. Ms.Trigiani's heroines are pretty much all the same so it's hard to keep them straight after the book is closed. However, this is a light, lovely story and I enjoyed it.
