Search - Lucia, Lucia

A wonderful story. I grew up going to B. Altman's and sewing, and loved the lead character's desire to be herself in the face of a strong italian family from Greenwich Village. A must read for anyone who loves fashion and New York City and the characters of Andriana Trigiani.

Lucia, Lucia is the story that an older woman tells a young writer in her building. The woman is Lucia who lived in New York all her life. But this story tells about how her life changed in her late 20s. It is a wonderful story of love and loss.

Wonderful wonderful book, so descriptive and vivid. The author brings you right into this wonderful family and makes you feel right at home with them!

This is one of my favorite books of all time! Lucia, Lucia will touch your heart and mind, and is one of those stories that will stay with you!

Delightful, original novel about an Italian-American girl, Lucia Sartori, and her career as a seamstress at B. Altman's Custom Design department. Lucia's story begins in 1950, when she is 25, and considered almost an "old maid" by her Italian family's standards. Lucia rebels against the comfortable marriage expected of her, to Dante DeMartino, the local baker, and instead puts her career first, even as she falls for the elusive, handsome, seemingly wealthy non- Italian entrepreneur, John Talbot. Full of unexpected and interesting twists and turns, the plot does not disappoint.
