The Shoemaker's Wife

     

by Adriana Trigiani

This month's book is a touching story of a man and woman who grew up in the Italian alps and met in Italy coincidentally as teenagers, then found each other many years later in America. Their lives cross paths many times before they finally affirm their love for each other and marry. Their struggles in coming to America and building a life are not unlike so many others who fled to America in the early 1900s.

Our meeting spot was appropriately an Italian restaurant in Bountiful - Robintino's.
