Bøker av Tony Ardizzone

The story of a close-knit family's emigration from Sicily to America in the early 1900s. Wanting more for their family than a lifetime of servitude, Papa Santuzzu and his wife push their seven children to emigrate, one by one, to La Merica.

Ardizzone writes of the moments in our lives that shine in the dim expanse of memory with the intensity and vivid light of the evening news. Searching their pasts for clues to the present, searching the horizons of their days for love, the characters seek, and sometimes find, redemption in a world of uncertainty and brightly burning emotions.
