"...an old-fashioned, romantic tale of two star-tangled lovers...but also a paean to artisanal work, food, friendship and family...Trigiani is a master of palpable and visual detail." -- Washington Post
Beloved New York Times bestselling author Adriana Trigiani returns with the most epic and ambitious novel of her career--a breathtaking epic romance and multigenerational love story that spans two continents, two World Wars, and the quest of two star-crossed lovers to find each other again.
The Shoemaker's Wife, a stunning work of historical fiction, is replete with the all the page-turning adventure, sumptuous detail, and heart-stopping romance that has made Adriana Trigiani, "one of the reigning queens of women's fiction" (USA Today). Fans of Trigiani's sweeping family dramas like Big Stone Gap and Lucia, Lucia will love her latest masterpiece, a book Kathryn Stockett, author of The Help, calls "totally new and completely wonderful: a rich, sweeping epic which tells the story of the women and men who built America dream by dream."
But when their journey from the beautiful Italian Alps to the bustling streets of America tears them apart, will their love be strong enough to guide them back to each other?
