It’s no surprise that Adriana Trigiani comes from a family of seven kids because the essence of the large, close knit Italian family flows across every page of Lucia, Lucia. Trigiani gives us the divine character of Lucia Satori, a beautiful woman caught between opposing priorities, the ones her family sets for her and those she sees for herself. Lucia’s family lives on Commerce Street in Greenwich Village. She may be the youngest, subjected to a hierarchy of four older brothers, but Lucia’s a forward thinker, a feminist before the term was even coined so she can handle herself and in doing so, she lives up to everyone’s expectations. In the days following WWII, women were struggling to define themselves. The war gave them a taste of what it was like to be out in the world, working alongside men, and the growing consensus was to stay put no matter how much men wanted to see them back in the kitchen. By turns enchanting, exciting, nostalgic and full of the classiness of the early 1950’s when women didn’t leave the house unless they were turned out in their best versions of themselves, Lucia, Lucia exudes the postwar giddiness of hope, and the promise of a safe and settled future.

Lucia Lucia A Novel Adriana Trigiani 9780345472441 Books Reviews

A good, light read. Pretty sad actually. I just wanted something to go truly right for the main character but she was never presented with the right options in life. This is about making the best of what you're given and putting family first but someone should have put Lucia first at some point in her life. I suppose Dante always did, but you can't force what isn't right.
This ius the first novel I have read by this author. It was very well written. I loved the history throughout...especially about the fashion of the time. It was really delightful to read about such a strong female character growing up in the 1950s and her Italian heritage. There were some surprises as well. But I can't share or I will ruin it for you. This book will be well received by history lovers.
I am hooked on Adrianna Trigliani's books about her Italian family heritage. This was an excellent read with characters who kept me mesmerized. I started reading this book this morning and could not put it down. If all of her books are this good, I will .be reading all of them.
I love and adore Adriana Trigiani. I've read just about every book she's written because I love her characters and stories. The characters in this book were just as vibrant and endearing. Lucia is a throughly modern girl for the 1950's and has a strong personality. She doesn't let just anybody push her around...until...John Talbot the suave, sharply dressed "investor." I found her infatuation with John a little hard to believe because she was so level headed and opinionated about everything else in her life. And so did her Father. He calls John out for being nothing but a flashy dresser. And surprise, surprise...
The content was well written {as always} and entertaining. But, there was disaster at every turn! And these disasters appeared out of nowhere. They certainly helped to move the plot along, but it was a little too much drama for one book {for me}. So much so that the story became...unbelievable {I feel like I say that a lot}.

Overall, this book was a quick, dramatic read. It's not lighthearted in the slightest, but Lucia stayed true to herself and what was most important to her. It just took her a little while to get there.

And who can't relate to that?
I always enjoy Adriana Trigiani’s books but this story seemed a little far fetched. Lucia was supposed to marry her childhood sweetheart but would not give up her job at B. Altman’s where she was a seamstress for the very wealthy to marry him. She than meets John who is a very wealthy entrepreneur and decides to marry him, but he leaves her at the altar. I find it very far fetched that she never marries. She relates her story to a girl who lives in the same apartment house. The ending is very predictable. Not Adriana’s best book.
Adriana Trigliani makes you a part of the family and you never want to leave. I was Lucia for the duration of the book going through her trials and tribulations. That is the sign of a successful writer. My goal is to read all of her books.
I am not usually interested this kind of novel; however, the author is a skillful and compelling writer who knows how to tell a story which makes you keep turning the pages.

Like most of her novels this one focuses to some degree on Italian American life in both Italy and New York City. This story (Lucia, Lucia A Novel by Adriana Trigiani) takes place in the 1950s in New York City and is about a Lucia Sartori, a 25 year old Italian American woman and her many experiences, loves and life as an apprentice designer at B. Altman department store in New York.
