"An Italian ROOTS." The Washington Post Book World At long last, Gay Talese, one of America's greatest living authors, employs his prodigious storytelling gifts to tell the saga of his own family's emigration to America from Italy in the years preceding World War II. Ultimately it is the story of all immigrant families and the hope and sacrifice that took them from the familiarity of the old world into the mysteries and challenges of the new.
The author of the bestselling Honor Thy Father, Thy Neighbor's Wife, and The Kingdom and the Power now gives readers his most important and compelling work--the epic of the millions who emigrated from Italy to America early this century. Esquire and GQ.
