The fateful first meeting of Enza and Ciro takes place amid the
haunting majesty of the Italian Alps at the turn of the last
century. Still teenagers, they are separated when Ciro is banished
from his village and sent to hide in New York's Little Italy,
apprenticed to a shoemaker, leaving a bereft Enza behind. But when
her own family faces disaster, she, too, is forced to emigrate to
America. Though destiny will reunite the star-crossed lovers, it
will, just as abruptly, separate them once again--sending Ciro off
to serve in World War I, while Enza is drawn into the glamorous
world of the opera . . . and into the life of the international
singing sensation Enrico Caruso. Still, Enza and Ciro have been
touched by fate--and, ultimately, the power of their love will
change their lives forever.
A riveting historical epic of love and family, war and loss,
risk and destiny, inspired by the author's own family history, The
Shoemaker's Wife is the novel Adriana Trigiani was born to
write.
