Tony's Wife A Novel

"...Tony's Wife is an immersive experience, with well- rounded, warm characters, pre-WWII fashion, Jersey accents, and homemade pasta. Moving and delightful." - Booklist

"Using motifs and themes from the Bard, Kiss Carlo is an epic novel about family, secrets, and pursuing your dreams." - Popsugar

"An important story that goes beyond the meaning of family to the deeper question of what it means to have a life well-lived - Mountain Times

"For Adri-addicts and newcomers alike, Kiss Carlo is a delightfully retro read.... At a time when crass seems to trump class in popular culture, Kiss Carlo may be just what we need, a warmhearted romp that's a welcome escape from novels about girls who are gone/on a train/tattooed...an incredibly satisfying dish to dig into. Three and a half out of four stars." - USA Today

"Trigiani's boisterous, maddening, devoted Italian clan will have you wishing they'd adopt you too." - People

"A world of warm, lively characters whose charming idiosyncrasies lead them to collide and ricochet along the way to love.... A delightfully sprawling comedy full of extended families." - Kirkus Reviews

"Trigiani's ability to draw characters with such authenticity is undoubtedly enriched by her own background in a large traditional Italian-American family. It's clear she knows and loves this world. Her affection for even the most flawed characters shines through." - USA Today

"A heartfelt tale of love too stubborn to surrender to human frailties." - Kirkus Reviews

"[Trigiani] expertly draws from her multilayered experience with ease, making the story both charming and authentic.... If you like Chi Chi, you will adore this unforgettable book." - Book Reporter

"Trigiani's latest is bittersweet, transcendent storytelling that celebrates the infinite varieties of love." - People, Book of the Week

"Trigiani...fills this novel with the musical delights of the big band era and a love that lasts a lifetime ... Packed with melodies, memories, humor, and love and loss, this effortlessly plotted novel is an emotional page-turner." - Publishers Weekly

"Tony's Wife is a bit of a misnomer, as the strength of the book is Chi Chi's story, but Trigiani is the master of writing complex Italian families, full of characters who love and live with passionate (and sometimes fractured) hearts ... Trigiani delivers another solid historical saga, and her readers will be pleased." - Library Journal
