"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.

This might make for suitable complement to Meacham's multigenerational tale.

#TBRtemptation post 4! The Washington Post has called it the Italian "Roots". Gay Talese, one of America's greatest living authors, tells his family's saga from pre-WWII Italy to America. The war-time and immigrant experiences are given a vivid treatment for all readers to discover. Being part Italian myself, I'll definitely be reading this! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?
