Adriana Trigiani
The talented Adriana Trigiani will continue her series starring Valentine Roncalli this February in Brava, Valentine. Her Italian-American heroine, who runs her own custom shoe design boutique in Greenwich Village, is still struggling to balance love, a career and her well-meaning but nosy family.
Read our review of Valentine’s first adventure, Very Valentine, which comes out in paperback in January (the pb version will include the first chapter of Brava and “a divine recipe section including Roman Falconi’s savory pizzelles with caviar,” according to Trigiani’s website.)
We interviewed Trigiani in 2005 for Rococo, her first book featuring a male hero. “This is the thing about families: we know everything about each other. We just don’t talk about it,” she told us, explaining the theme of many of her books.
I really enjoyed the first book and I was actually surprised by how much I liked it. I shy away from chick lit as it is not my thing but Very Valentine was not that at all, really. I look forward to her next book.
Oh… and unrelated to post but can you update your blogroll to reflect my new name and site?
