Can you remember the first time a book grabbed you? That is how I felt about Adriana Trigiani’s Lucia, Lucia. It was one of the rare times I hated to leave the confines of a novel. And I knew I couldn’t wait until the next time I could discover the characters Trigiani had to offer.
Lucia is like the best friend you look up to, with a depth of passion and who prepares to experience life to the fullest. A love like Nella has is true, touching and heart-breaking…the kind of love you dream about. Valentine’s big, extended family is at once protective and critical. Her story features meals and aromas that waft up from the page. Landscapes of America and Italy are drawn as vividly as Enza and Ave Maria are themselves.
Now, bestselling author Adriana Trigiani is going to “pop in” on us at the North Bellmore Public Library via Skype*. We will chat about her latest novel, The Shoemaker’s Wife, and maybe even some behind the scenes stories. So, be sure to bring your questions.
Grab a friend and join us this Thursday, January 10 at 7pm.
The North Bellmore Public Library is located at 1551 Newbridge Road in North Bellmore. For more information, call 516/785-6260 and ask for Fran.
*Please note that this is an event via Skype and although it will be live, the author will not be at the library in person.

So Lu Scala never had any children so it might be safe to say you have never been to a PTA meeting…Read More or a School Board meeting or a budget presentation so then you would have no idea how the money is spent good or bad. I'm sorry that your neighbors make more than you but like anything else you get what you pay for there are educational requirements for teaching and administration jobs, I'm sure you would be happy if all the school personnel could be replaced by minimum wage earners or better yet we could close all the schools after all you have been out of school for 40 years so you don't need them anymore, but thats not how it works. Why is always the uninformed that speak loudest and longest?

A bit of a surprise considering kids come home with a supply list a mile long (and average $40-$75).
