The Big Read

This year's choice, The Shoemaker's Wife by Adriana Trigiani, captures the immigrant experience of the early 1900s.  There are more than 35 programs and book discussions taking place in March and April, plus a virtual visit by the author on May 2. Go to thebigread.org to see all the programs and to register. Here's a great video about the book.   

 

"It's an honor to join the list of authors and great books you have chosen in the past," said Adriana Trigiani. "This novel is very personal to me. I hope you enjoy the story of Enza and Ciro, based upon the lives of Lucia and Carlo Bonicelli, my beloved grandparents, and that this story

reminds you of your own."
