Don't Sing at the Table: Life Lessons from My GrandmothersThis New York Times–bestselling memoir “combines family and American history, reflections on lives well-lived, and sound advice to excellent effect” (Publishers Weekly). New York Times–bestselling author Adriana Trigiani shares a treasure trove of insight and guidance from her two grandmothers: time-tested, common sense advice on the most important aspects of a woman’s life, from childhood to the golden years. Seamlessly blending anecdote with life lesson, Don’t Sing at the Table tells the two vibrant women’s real-life stories—how they fell in love, nurtured their marriages, balanced raising children with being savvy businesswomen, and reinvented themselves with each new decade. For readers of Big Stone Gap, Very Valentine, Lucia, Lucia, and Rococo, this loving memoir is the Trigiani family recipe for chicken soup for the soul. “Readers will find her strength and optimism helpful, and her legions of loyal fans will enjoy learning more about the women who influenced, inspired, and, according to Trigiani, made possible some of her best-selling fiction.” —Booklist “Delightful, energetic. . . . Trigiani is a seemingly effortless storyteller.” —Boston Globe “Well crafted work with sometime lyrical, sometimes flat-out-funny writing.” —Fort Worth Star-Telegram “Dazzling.” —USA Today |
