The theme of European and specifically Italian immigrants in US has been treated many times, so I had some doubts about what this book could add.
In reality, this book is highly original, it tells interesting stories of an interesting period. Some of the moments are pretty are to read, while other are uplifting. The prose is good and the author speaks from the heart.
