Praise for Adriana Trigiani

The Queen of the Big Time

"Full-bodied and elegantly written . . . [Trigiani builds The Queen of the Big Time] around an old-fashioned love story. . . . Pure pleasure."
-The Washington Post Book World

"Moving and poignant . . . Trigiani has again defied categorization. She is more than a one-hit wonder, more than a Southern writer, more than a women's novelist. She is an amazing young talent."
-Richmond Times-Dispatch

Lucia, Lucia

"This heartwarming tale is full of lessons about taking risks in life and love."
-Cosmopolitan

"Trigiani's writing is as dazzling as Lucia's dresses."
-USA Today

"Seamlessly superb storytelling . . . Trigiani never loses hold of the hearts of her characters-or of the wisdom that tragedy and redemption are also part of life."
-St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Reseña del editor:

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER · “Eccentric, unpredictable, entertaining . . . This novel is a treat.”—The Boston Globe

Bartolomeo di Crespi is the acclaimed interior decorator—not to mention the most eligible bachelor—in Our Lady of Fatima, New Jersey. From the dazzling shores of the Garden State to the legendary fabric houses of New York City, from the prickly purveyors of fine art in London to the Mediterranean coast of Italy, Bartolomeo is on a mission to bring talent, sophistication, and his aesthetic vision to his hometown. So when the renovation of the local church is scheduled, he assumes there is only one man to oversee the job.

Recruiting an artist and a stained-glass artisan to help with the project— two handsome men who create romantic mayhem among Bartolomeo’s sister, his erstwhile fiancée, and all the other lovelorn ladies of OLOF—Bartolomeo struggles to create art while remaining the steadfast linchpin of the volatile di Crespi clan. Together, Bartolomeo and his team will do more than blow the dust off the old Fatima frescoes—they will turn the town upside down, challenge the faithful, and restore hope where there once was none.

Praise for Rococo

“A veritable crazy quilt of quirky Italian Americans . . .Trigiani weaves all [the] subplots together with wonderful ease.”—Entertainment Weekly

“A summer must-read. . . a hilarious mix of. . . humor, lust, [and] family dynamics.”—The Hartford Courant

“An artfully designed tale [with] characters so lively they bounce off the page [and] wit so subtle that even the best jokes seem effortless.”—People
