The Supreme Macaroni Company by Adriana Trigiani — 4.5/5 stars

I don’t know where I’ve been and why I’ve not heard of Adriana Trigiani but here is an author I can’t get enough of.

Actually, I think I have read her before, but until I re-read her Big Gap book, I’m not positive. Funny how that happens.

This book was kind of surreal for me because it mentioned places I had actually been while traveling from Indiana to New Jersey. And this is the same time I read the book. I spent the night in Youngstown, Ohio on my journey there and back and that’s where the Macaroni Company ends up being. So odd for it to mention several other locations I actually knew about. Ever have that happen?

Take me here NOW!

And then there’s the patient, older, Italian husband who is romantic and an excellent lover. <sigh>

Andrea-Bocelli

Yes, I have a terrible crush on Andrea Bocelli. It’s okay, my husband knows. (In case you don’t know, this is the ultimate example in my mind of an older, good looking Italian man…)

Anyway, as secular market books go, I loved this one. What’s not to love about shoes and romance and pasta? I love reading about families who have strong ethnic ties. Being very, very, very American, I don’t have those types of traditions. So I enjoy living vicariously through those who do in books.

shoes

This isn’t a book I’d normally pick up and I wasn’t sure I’d like it. And to be honest, I was thinking, if a new author wrote it, no one would publish it. It’s not hooky for one thing. And it doesn’t have a spell-binding plot. But there’s just something about the main character, Valentine, that makes you want to know what happens to her next.

Adriana Trigiani, Author

I’m excited to read more of Trigiani’s books. I’m packing seven or so of them to take with me on vacation week after next. For one thing, she writes southern fiction, too, which made the fact that this book (and I think this is a sequel to some others) are set in NYC.

I’ll let you know how it goes. There’s nothing I like more than books. And I absolutely love southern fiction. Next to books I love shoes.

Wide-Italian-ShoesThis book was a perfect fit.
